It’s Week 14 of the NFL season and the AFC playoff race is really heating up. Right now the Pittsburgh Steelers are holding onto the No. 6 seed with a 7-5 record but there’s a real logjam of teams behind them. Here are the four games other than the Steelers game we will be watching this week.

Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills

The Bills currently hold the No. 5 seed in the AFC. They take on the Baltimore Ravens this week who currently the No. 1 seed and seem to be on the fast track to the Super Bowl. As much as it pains us, we have to root for Baltimore this week to beat the Bills and close the gap between them and the Steelers.

Indianapolis Colts @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Colts currently sit at 6-6 and are the No. 9 seed in the AFC. The Steelers hold the tiebreaker over Indianapolis after a win earlier in the season but we are still going to root for the Bucs this week just to hedge our bets.

Tennessee Titans @ Oakland Raiders

This is a tricky one. Both the Titans and Raiders are in the playoff hunt just behind the Steelers. But by virtue of their records, we have to go for the Raiders. Tennessee is 7-5 while the Raiders are 6-6. If the Titans win they could potentially jump ahead of the Steelers.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns

The Browns are on the outside looking in of the AFC playoff picture at 5-7 but we will still be cheering for the Bengals to pull off the upset. Why? Because with only four games left to play anything can happen and 5-7 can turn into 9-7 in a hurry. Plus we will always want the Browns to lose.
