Interesting Notes:

• The 6th playoff team in the AFC right now is San Diego, who are 4-3. So you're probably looking at needing to be 9-7 to have a shot at the playoffs. 
• The 6th playoff team in the NFC right now is Detroit, who are 5-3. Unless you can get to 10 wins in the NFC (outside of the NFC East), the playoffs are probably out of the question. 
• That means Atlanta is all but out of the race, as they'd need to go 8-1 in their last 9 to hit 10 wins, and they still have New Orleans, Carolina, and Seattle on their schedule

A Quick Look Ahead to Week 9:
New Orleans at New York Jets (Sunday 1:00 PM) - This looked much better last week, when the Jets were coming off a win over New England, than it does this week, as the Jets are coming off of a 40-point loss to Cincinnati. 

Chicago at Green Bay (Monday 8:30 PM) - The only game in week 9 where both teams have a record north of .500. But Chicago is starting Josh McCown at quarterback. Not a great week for marquee matchups.
