I've finally conceded Chiefs will finish 1.

1. Chiefs 14-2
2. Patriots 12-4
3. Steelers 11-4-1
4. Texans 11-5 (it's admittedly tough to find two losses)
5. Chargers 12-4
6. Dolphins 9-7 (there has to be one laughably bad playoff team)
 
5 seem to be locks and 1 will be a joke. 6th team could be one of many but I'd put it in this order, most likely to less likely: Titans, Ravens, Dolphins, Bengals, Colts
 
I think Miami is the one that’s doesn’t make it.. both Cincy and (even more likely) Tenn have a better shot at the playoffs...

My fav part : neither of our list should include Indy, Jax, Baltimore !

Long forgotten, but the Dolphins did beat the Titans for the tiebreaker (also Bengals beat the Dolphins and Ravens beat the Titans).

It'd be great if the Bengals or Dolphins make it, one less team to worry about. Titans are the best of the bunch, but I feel like they won't make it.

The road to the AFCCG will not be a cake walk like a lot of us thought a few weeks ago. We have to go through Pitt or Houston most likely just to get there.
 
Chiefs Pats Steelers Texans Chargers Titans
 
Chiefs Pats Steelers Texans Chargers and Cincy

Chiefs have 1 more loss in them...Pats have 1 more loss...if they lose 2 more they slip to #3 IMO
 
1 - KC (14-2)
2 - Pitt (12-3-1)
3 - NE - (11-5)
4 - Hou - (11-5)
5 - LAC - (12-4)
6 - Cin - (10-6)

The only team that can change that is the Titans at 3, 4 or 6.
 
Chiefs 1 . Pats steelers at 2/3, winner of the December game gets the bye and hosts the rematch in Rd 2. Sd beats Houston rd 1 and vists kc.

That would be the safe prediction with how things look. Of course a kc downward spiral is always welcome
 
1. Pittsburgh (feel like puking)
2. Kansas City
3. New England
4. San Diego (but they’ll always, always disappoint)
5. Houston
6. Baltimore
 
I'll suggest Titans over Ravens or Dolphins for the final spot. They just slew the world beater Patriots and will ride their success forward. Plus they have the best record of the three.

Jaguars missing the playoffs would've been a good media sound bite back in the offseason.
 
Colts might get the 6th. Their remaining games seem the easiest and they are trending up.
 
Five seem to be locks, barring injury:

Patriots
Steelers
Texans
Chiefs
Chargers

The Tits have probably passed the Ravens and Bengals for the #6 spot, IMO.
