Every AFC team with a 500 or better record is in the playoffs right now. I think the Chiefs could lose their next 7 games and still end up as the 5 seed. Lots of teams in the mix for the playoffs, but thats because 500 might be good enough to get in. I personally hope the Browns can get in, but the Jets really only need to go 4-3 vs everyone elses 5-2. Although that AFC North might end up being a 3 way tie of 9-7 teams, maybe stranger if Pittsburgh can play spoiler.

It does seem like every week something happens that impacts the potential playoff scenarios. Two weeks ago the Packers looked like a real SB contender, now they could be in tough just to make the playoffs. The Eagles offence was a mess, now they look like a solid bet to win the NFC East.

Today I would say Detroit and Philly will be in the playoffs, two weeks ago those teams were Green Bay and Dallas.
