Playoff thoughts.
AFC
If Baltimore wins they lock it up. It will be interesting to see what they do next week if that happens. A lot of coaches hate the idea of 2 bye weeks for their key players.
Pats as we know are in wait and see mode with KC.
KC has a big game and are trying to avoid an upset and force us to play next hard next week.
Houston is now locked in and doesn't care, which is HUGE for the Titans. They will no doubt rest next week.
The Bills are also locked in and will take next week to rest which will effect nothing.
The Titans and Steelers are 8-6 and looking to get that final spot. Both are in tight games. If the Titans win this game vs NO they likely go 10-6 due to Houston likely sitting next week. The Ravens may well sit next week too (they are the team Pitt plays). If Both teams finish tied the Steelers get in almost certainly. Personally I'd prefer the Titans in. They are more likely to upset someone than the Steelers IMO.
NFC
Eagles and Dallas playing for the the 4th seed today. Who cares. They are not getting out of round 1.
As for anything else it is hard to say. The 49ers, Seahawks, Saints, Vikings and Packers are all locked in but we have no idea who is what seed yet.
