Interesting that there's actually the possibility that every AFC East team could fininsh 10-6 as each AFC East team is playing each other 3 more times, and each AFC east team needing no more than 2 Division wins, given each's realistic scenario of winning most of their non-division games.
The Pats could do it even without even beating another Division team (not that I expect or want that to happen, especially given tie breakers) having a stretch of 4 non-division games, three of which look very winnable
The Jets could finish 10-6 as well conceivably without another division win but more likely would do it by beating one or two division opponents with a tougher non-division schedule.
I could definately see the Dolphins finishing 10-6, getting their 5 games but having a pretty easy schedule with Oakland, San Fran, St. Louis, and KC potentially providing 4 of the 5 wins
And Buffalo, also at 5-4 needing 5 games still looks to have a decent shot at winning the next 3 at Cleveland, KC and San Fran - but would need 2 more division wins assuming they can't win at Mile High.
Just a quirky possibility given the anything can happen world of the NFL but I wonder if that's ever happened before? I'm not even going to fathom all the ins and outs of the schedule and tie breakers at this point... just interesting that at past the halfway mark, and given the teams each is playing, I could see it happening.
