Again it's important to note that Baltimore is in the driver's seat.

If Baltimore, New England and Houston finish 13-3....

...Baltimore will be the No. 1 seed
...New England will be the No. 2 seed
...and Houston No. 3 seed

Deadly loss for Bengals today, at least they made it interesting for 14 weeks. No way they win 3/3

Jets

at Eagles
Giants
at Dolphins


Still some work to do.

Two wins should get them in but it is possible they could lose two and open the door for some other teams.

Cardinals really made a push to the playoffs with their win today. They have the Browns, Bengals, and Seahawks left. They must win them all but its amazing they still have a shot. I wouldn't be surprised to see them get in.
