I just looked through the standings and it seems if we can win @ Buffalo and vs. Jax, we clinch at least the final wild card spot. In that case the best that the Jets and Ravens could do is tie us, and we own tiebreakers over both teams. Miami could still tie us and take the division, but we would still get a wild card for sure. If any of that's wrong please let me know.
The #2 seed is within reach but highly unlikely the way SD is playing. We could catch Cincinatti for the 3 spot by winning one more game than they do in the final 3 weeks, but then the tiebreak would be strength of schedule which is hard to predict now. That all could change if Cincy beats SD this week however. Either way, little advantage to the 3 seed especially without knowing who will finish 5 and 6. And I'm not sure I'd even want to face SD over Indy right now.
My prediction for the AFC finish:
1. Colts
2. Chargers
3. Bengals
4. Pats
5. Ravens
6. Broncos
Sets up a rematch with Ravens who will win out to finish 10-6 while the Dolphins and Jets each drop a game. Not the first round matchup I want, they'll be on a roll and fired up over week 4. But I think we'd still pull it out and head to Indy. In all honesty I'd rather face any of the Jets/Fins/Broncs before the dirty Ravens.
