Updated playoff races….

NFC East

 

eagles winning takes the magic number down to 2 for clinching the division between eagles wins and cowboy losses

 

NFC North

 

Bears back in first place, packers half game back. Lions back 2 games.

 

lions need to be within 1 game of Chicago going into week 18

next week gdb at chi

Following week balt at gb, chi at sh

det host Pitt, at min, so they could make up a game

 

brars have toughest schedule closing

 

nfc south

 

right now both Carolina and tab srevtied at 7-7 and 2-2 in division. Tb has the common game record clinched if they are tied.  Carolina likely needs to sweep tb to win division. They play next week and week 18. Week 17 it’s sea at carcand tb at mia 

 

nfc west is still rams at 11 wins, niners and hawks a game back. Niners host hawks week 18.

thurs it’s rams at Hawks

 Bears  at sf later could mean WC sort or WC spot.

 

AFC

 

west 

denver and charges both won, 2 games separate them, chargers need to be within one to have week 18 mean anything.

 

South 

 

jags won as did Texans, colts lost. Jags are one game up.

jags and titans split, both have 1 div loss, jag have an extra div game to play in week 17 at colts

 

right now they are both 7-2 in conference and are  both 2-1 in non common games. If jags lose, the Texans will have the tiebreaker because of conf record.

 

north 

 

PIT plays Miami on Monday night. If they lose then both then and ravens would be tied at 7-7.  It looks like Balt has the inside track if tied because of common game record. If split, and tied in div.

 

east…

 

bills need to get tied with Pats and pats L to either at jets or hone vs Miami , and bills beat jets.

 

if ravens L next week and bills W then the bills could lose to eagles and it means nothing. If the pats L to jets before bills game, the bills could rest players for the jets game.

 

Updated rooting results for next 2 weeks 

 

Want  chargers to lose to dallas, then beat Texans — gives them 5 loses 

jacksonville to beat broncos , then lose at colts the following week. — gives jags 5 L

broncos lose to jags then to chiefs week 17 on Xmas — gives broncos 4 Ls

 

then week 18 charges beat broncos for division at 5 loses . Jags w div at 5 loses

Broncos aren't losing to the Chiefs now......

Amazingly, NFC North, AFC South and NFC West are still a three-horse race.

 

AFC East, NFC East, AFC West, AFC North and NFC South are a two-horse race probably going into week 18. 

 

That is 19 teams still in playoff race for 16 slots. 

 

The NFL couldn't have asked for a better season....Of course, not having Mahomes and Burrows (and possibly Lamar) in the playoffs will hurt the league but sure is exciting times for the new brigade in Maye, Nix, Young etc

Agreed.  Broncos are going to be the #1 seed in the AFC barring a miracle.
