We are changing it up a little bit. There are seven teams left in the AFC playoff race and there are six spots, but all of the divisions are — essentially — over with. That means the only race left is for the two wildcard spots. Let’s just get right to it.
AFC East
New England Patriots 11-3
The divisions are essentially done but the Bills and Patriots could finish with a 12-4 record if the Bills win out and the Patriots lose to the Bills and beat the Dolphins. It’s over because if that happens, the Bills can’t win the AFC East due to the common opponents’ tiebreaker. The only way the Patriots can lose the AFC east is by the Bills winning out and the Patriots losing out. That’s tough to picture happening.
Remaining Schedule: Bills, Dolphins
