NFL Playoff Picture After Week 12
nfl playoff scenarios 2010
Everyone is down to 5 games remaining and there is obviously still a lot to play for. Here is some numbers and analysis of the big pictures, starting in the AFC:
1. Indianapolis
2/3. Cincinnati/San Diego
4. New England
5. Denver
6. Jacksonville
0 games back of 6th: Baltimore, Pittsburgh
1 game back of 6th: Miami, New York, Tennessee, Houston
Planning for 2010: Buffalo, Kansas City, Oakland, Cleveland
Indianapolis can actually clinch a bye seed this week. They cannot clinch the #1 seed because they cannot clinch tiebreaking on San Diego this week, but its a matter of time. Cincinnati and San Diego continue to have the same conference record, but they play each other later in the season. New England moved a game back of the other division leaders but with only 3 conference losses is certainly very much alive for a bye seed; winning out and having the Cincy/SD winner lose a conference game alone would be enough. For that matter, the Chargers certainly do not have the division locked up. They have planted a 5-1 division record but if the Broncos win their 3 remaining games with the Raiders and Chiefs they would also be 5-1 against the West. San Diego losing that game with the Bengals, for example, would then be enough to hand tiebreaking advantage potentially to the Broncos.
