AFC South

Houston Texans 6-3

The Texans have a path to the top seed in the AFC. They need to hope the Patriots slip up and make sure that they beat New England when they host them in three weeks. They also need to beat the Ravens this week. Win out or make sure they only drop one game outside of those two big matchups.

Remaining Schedule:  @Ravens, Colts, Patriots, Broncos, @Titans, @Bucs, Titans

Indianapolis Colts 5-4

Indianapolis plays to the level of their competition which should be scary. There’s simply no margin of error for the Colts. They have four division games in their last season and see the Jaguars twice. They’ll need to sneak in a win against the Texans, Saints or Panthers to make the playoffs.

Remaining Schedule: Jaguars, @Texans, Titans, @Bucs, @Saints, Panthers, @Jaguars
