How specific do you want it to be?
Quick version
AFC
Indy
San Diego
have won their Divisions, should be the top two seeds
New England is the likely #3 seed, one more win and they're AFC East Champs
Cinci is the likely #4 seed, a win over the hapless Chiefs this week and they win the AFC North
Wild Card
Baltimore and Denver lead right now based on record, but have tough road games this weekend, but have easier games remaining to close out the season although Baltimores is on the road against Oakland and you never know whats going to happen with the Raiders. Baltimore still has a shot at the AFC North if Cincy doesn't win another game and they win out.
Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Miami, New York Jets, Tennessee, and Houston are all still alive at 7-7.
Out of this group Jacksonville would hold the most tie breaker over everyone unless they end up in a tie with just Miami. Tennessee and Houston would pretty much need to get their based on being the best record. Houston holds no tie breakers, and Tennessee would only beat out Houston if there was a tie.
It's also possible that there could be a massive mess of 8-8 teams too. If it gets to that next week than I'll look into what could happen.
I think Baltimore, and Denver will both finish with 9-7 records and everyone else will be 8-8.
