Jax only has a 1 game lead plus TB right now.
As of today, Kansas City is in the driver’s seat for the 1 seed.
1. KC
2. NE
3. Pittsburgh
4. Houston
Baltimore and Jacksonville are starting to fade lol. It’s a two-way race for the 1 seed at this point.
KC still looks really good. I am not sure anyone else is in the race right now with us and them. We really need them to lose two more games so that we don't have to play in Arrowhead in January (and we need to win out). Not sure who can beat them for us, though. San Diego maybe? Maybe Denver in their 2nd game?
You're right; I was thinking backwards. Tough for us to win out, however, particularly with injuries to key players piling up. Get well soon Gronk, Michel and even Eric Rowe. What happened to him yesterday, anyway? Looks like they were trying to ease him back in, but he re-injured himself.If we win out they just need to lose one as we have the tiebreaker thanks to that win a week ago.

If KC loses any game of their next few games the battle for the AFC West crown should get very interesting!KC still looks really good.

You left out the Chargers. They're currently tied with the Pats for the #2 AFC spot at 5-2, 4-1 in the conference.
The Steelers are 4th at 3-2-1, followed closely by the pack at 4-3: HOU, CIN, BAL, MIA ... all still only one game behind the Pats and Chargers.
The Chargers lost at home to the Chiefs in wk-1, so they're behind on the head-to-head tiebreaker. Their only other loss was to the Rams in wk-3. They're on their BYE this weekend, before going on the road against the Seahawks. But then they face the Raiders, Broncos and Cards, so getting to 8-3 by the end of November seems a distinct possibility.
However, in December, the Chargers face PIT and Cincy before their re-match against the Chiefs (at Arrowhead), then finish with the Ravens and Broncos. So, a December fade is certainly possible, though they seem likely to remain in contention for a WC berth right to the end.

Good point. I didn’t list anyone who is not a division leader. Chargers may be good recordwise, but they are not in competition with NE for the 1 seed unless they win the division against KC.
Agree. Its very possible.Seems somewhat unlikely, though, until they face the Rams (at Arrowhead).
Broncos (home)
Browns (AWAY)
Cards (home)
RAMS (home) - might be their 2nd, and last, loss
-- BYE --
Raiders (AWAY)
Ravens (home)
Chargers (home)
Seahawks (AWAY)
Raiders (home)
The Chiefs finishing at 15-1 is not out of the question.
