AFC South
Houston Texans 8-4
The Texans got a huge win against the Patriots proving that Houston should be considered a real threat in the playoffs this season. It’s tougher to get wins over good opponents on the road and the early season slip-ups may cost Houston in the end. For now, the real issue is the surging Titans. Houston still must play Tennessee twice and the Titans are only a game back.
Remaining Schedule: Broncos, @Titans, @Bucs, Titans
Tennessee Titans 7-5
Tennessee has its own loser leaves town match with the 6-6 Raiders this weekend. With a win, they will be facing Houston with the AFC South lead on the line. The late-season game against the Saints is brutal especially since New Orleans will be fighting for playoff seeding.
Remaining Schedule: @Raiders, Texans, Saints @Texans
Indianapolis Colts 6-6
Three away games to end the season probably puts an end to the Colts playoff hopes. If they can beat the Bucs, they will have to beat the Saints in Week 15.
Remaining Schedule: @Bucs, @Saints, Panthers, @Jaguars
