I'll take a stab at predicting the final seedings based on remaining opponents and my best guess for each game:
NFC North:
Pittsburgh
Pit: @Buf (L), @Cin (w), Bal (W), Cle(w) - Could see the Buffalo and Baltimore games swapping. I think they go 10-6
Bal: @NE (L), Phi (W), @Pit (L), Cin(W)- 9-7
AFC East:
NE
Buf: Pit (W), Cle (W), Mia (W), @NYJ (L) - 9-7
Mia: Ari(W), @NYJ (L), @Buf (L), NE(L) - 8-8
AFCW:
KC (Best Division Record)
Oak:
@KC (L), @SD(W), Ind (W), @Den (L) - 12-4
KC: Oak (W), Ten (W), Den(W), @SD(L) - 12-4
Den: @Ten(W), NE (L),
@KC (L), Oak (W) - 10-6
AFCS:
Houston (Best Division Record)
Ind: Hou (W), @Min(L), @Oak(L), Jax (W) - 8-8
Hou: @Ind(L), Jax (W), Cin(W), @Ten(L) - 8-8
Ten: Den(L), @KC(L), @Jax(W), Hou(W) - 8-8
Based on my guessing the Seeds would be:
1. NE - 14-2 (could definitely see them drop the game in Denver, but 13-3 would still secure the 1 seed)
2. KC - 12-4
3. Pit - 10-6
4. Houston - 8-8
5. Oak - 12-4
6. Den 10-6 (if they beat NE at home under my scenario they still end up the 6th seed at 11-5)
Wild Card Games:
Den @ Pit
Oak @ Hou
I think most folks would see the Den/Pit game as a toss up. But so would the Oakland/Houston game. Oakland beat Houston 27-20 in Oakland. Houston could potentially steal that playing at home. I would take Oakland, if forced to pick, but Houston played them tough. Houston had the lead in the 4th quarter 20-17 at one point. Then with 6 minutes left in a 20-20 game BOB went for it on Oakland's 15 yard line on a 4th and 1 instead of kicking the FG. Carr then took the ball 85 yards for a TD to win the game.
I'm sure I will be wrong, but that's how I see the AFC shaking out.
