1. New England Patriots
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
3. Houston Texans
4. Oakland Raiders
5. Baltimore Ravens
6. Cincinnati Bengals

This is how I think it will turn out in the AFC. I feel good about all but the AFC South and West winners, but I still think Houston is good enough to win that division, and who knows with the AFC West. Wouldn't be shocked to see the Broncos win it.

After the events of today I see Houston slipping a little bit in the AFC.

I don't think Baltimore will lose again.

But I'm ok with the Steelers as the No. 5 seed. If they win the wild card they'll likely go to Baltimore in the divisional round. That would be fitting.

I think Baltimore may lose 1 more but not 2. The one game they may lose would be the last game at Cincy.

The rest of their schedule looks like this:

12/4 - @ Cleveland
12/11 - Indy
12/18 - @ San Diego
12/24 - Cleveland
1/1 - @ Cincy

What is the rest of their schedule? Cleveland twice, Bengals, not sure who else. If its the Colts and Cardinals or something then yeah, 1 most likely.

New England has a real easy schedule.

But if Baltimore loses one and Houston loses one and Pittsburgh runs the table, they'll beat out New England.

Half right at least. So 3 easy wins, at San Diego could easily be a loss, and the Bengals will be tough. Ill stick to 2 losses, though 1 seems most likely.

Yeah, they are my team but you know never what to expect with them. Oh and the NFL is crazy so I guess we shall just have to wait and see. I am thinking 1 loss but hoping Non is right.

I think Baltimore realizes they can't slip up. They have control of the division. That will keep them ready for each game.

Might be the end for the Giants.

They go from New Orleans to hosting Green Bay next week.
