1. Cincinnatti
1. NY Jets
3. Jacksonville
4. Kansas City
5. Denver
Remainings schedules
Cincinatti: Oakland, @Indianapolis, @Denver, Pittsburgh
Jets: Buffalo, @Minnesota, @Miami, Oakland
Jacksonville: Indianapolis, @Tennessee, New England, @Kansas City
Kansas City: Baltimore, @San Diego, @Oakland, Jacksonville
Denver: @San Diego, @Arizona, San Francisco, Cincinatti
So, looking at that mess...which two teams get in?
I have no idea. I'd say Denver and the Jets have the easiest schedules, but none of them are real easy.
Crazy last 4 weeks!

Jax has by far the toughest looking sked left
KC has to win both home game and then beat Oakland on the road....doable.
Denver looks to be in tough IMO...not because of anything but starting a rookie QB at this point in the year, and there is no way Shanahan goes back to Plummer unless Cutler gets hurt. The Wilson loss could be monumental.
Cincy has a tough road ahead as well, but their D has all of a sudden started playing like they are the 85 Bears. That continues and they will go 3-1 at worst and get in.
The Jets? Easiest sked left among all of em...so they will find a way to gas their chances as always.
