Interesting notes: 

• The playoff picture has no new teams compared to last week. There would be 3 new teams from last year (Indianapolis, Chicago, and Seattle)
• Since the NFL moved to the 4 divisions per conference format in 2002, there has never been more than 8 playoff teams returning from the previous season. The average number of repeat playoff teams is 6.  
• The remaining schedules for all teams in the playoff picture (AFC): 
• Houston (.550)
• Baltimore (.567) -- hardest
• New England (.492)
• Denver (.350) -- easiest
• Indianapolis (.517)
• Pittsburgh (.467)
• Cincinnati (.517)
• The remaining schedules for all teams in the playoff picture (NFC): 
• Atlanta (.483)
• San Francisco (.492)
• Green Bay (.550)
• New York Giants (.600)
• Chicago (.550)
• Seattle (.500)
• Tampa Bay (.608)
• Minnesota (.675) --  hardest
• New Orleans (.592)
• Dallas (.450) -- easiest
• The NFC North could very well cannibalize itself from 3 potential playoff teams all the way to 1. The 4 teams play 7 divisional games in the last 6 weeks. 

A Quick Look Ahead to Week 12:

Minnesota at Chicago (Sunday, 1:00 PM) - Two weeks ago this looked like an easy Chicago win. But since then Minnesota has righted the ship and Chicago lost Jay Cutler to a concussion.
Atlanta at Tampa Bay (Sunday, 1:00 PM) - Suddenly scuffling Atlanta meets suddenly surging Tampa Bay in an important divisional matchup.
San Francisco at New Orleans (Sunday, 4:25 PM) - New Orleans gets their chance to avenge last year's postseason loss in San Francisco.
Green Bay at New York Giants (Sunday, 8:20 PM) - Both Packers-Giants games last year were thrilling contests.
