At this point, it would take a pretty epic collapse by Indy to lose the #1 seed (just don't see them losing 4 games).
So the best case scenario for NE is the #2 seed. Will they have to go 13-3 to get it, or will 12-4 or 11-5 get it done?
The only good thing to come out of this weekend is it looks like a dogfight in the West & North. The way it is shaping up, the winner of the West will be 11-5 at best. So I think the Pats have some breathing room there, even with the loss to Denver.
Now with the North, shockingly Cincy has a 2-game lead at 7-2 and has already swept Pitt & Balto. Haven't looked at their schedule, but you can't think the Bengals will do better than 12-4, and in fact I'd be more worried about Pitt going on a run to 12-4 than Cincy.
So realistically, I think the Pats can get the #2 at 12-4, but likely need all the other division winners to be 11-5
