After week 12, the AFC playoff picture is starting to get some real focus at the top, while the wild card spots are still up for grabs.
The division winners, while not etched in stone, are all but set:
AFCE - Patriots (3 up with 5 to go)
AFCN - Ravens (3 up with 5 to go)
AFCS - Texans (3 up with 5 to go)
AFCW - Broncos (4 up with 5 to go)
That leaves just the two wild card teams. Looking there, we've got
Colts - 7-4 (Lions/Titans/Texans/Chiefs/Texans)
Steelers - 6-5 (Ravens/Chargers/Cowboys/Bengals/Browns
Bengals - 6-5 (Chargers/Cowboys/Eagles/Steelers/Ravens)
Dolphins - 5-6 (Patriots/49ers/Jaguars/Bills/Patriots)
All the other teams in the conference are at 4-7 or worse. The four pictured above do have difficult schedules or a QB problem, though, so I don't see any clear Wild Card locks yet.
