AFC North

Baltimore Ravens 10-2

Baltimore has to be recognized as the best team in the AFC — and maybe the entire NFL. A win against the Bills would be huge for the shot at the top seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. If the Patriots lose to Kansas City, they could rest their starters the final game against the Steelers.

Remaining Schedule:  @Bills, Jets, @Browns, Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers 6-5

The Steelers would love the Ravens to rest their players in the final week of the season It would mean Pittsburgh has a chance at the five seed. Pittsburgh can not take Arizona lightly. After that, they face the Bills in Pittsburgh which will be a huge wildcard and playoff tiebreaker.

Remaining Schedule: @Cardinals, Bills, @Jets, @Ravens
