A quick primer on what all of this information is:
Team, W(ins), L(osses), T(ies), and Pct (winning percentage) are all self-explanatory. 
The Conference and Division records are separated into separate columns for Wins/Losses/Ties. This was purely a formatting move designed to help me update the tables more efficiently. 
PF - Points For (points scored by the team for the season)
PA - Points Against (points scored by the team's opponents for the season)
Pythag% - Pythagorean winning percentage - this is based on PF and PA
RoS SOS - Rest of Season Strength of Schedule

Interesting bits of information:
  • No team in the AFC has clinched a playoff spot yet. 
  • The Patriots, Broncos, and Colts will all clinch their respective divisions with wins in week 15.  
  • There are 16 teams in the AFC. 12 of them are still in the playoff picture. The other 4 (NYJ, TEN, JAX, OAK) have records of 2-11. 
  • Remember that when breaking ties across divisions for wildcard spots, divisional ties must be broken first. So Baltimore cannot be part of a wildcard tiebreaker unless Pittsburgh has already secured a playoff spot. Similarly Buffalo cannot be part of a wildcard tiebreaker unless Miami has already secured a spot. 
  • The playoff hopefuls with the easiest remaining schedules are the Patriots and the Ravens. 
  • The playoff hopeful with the hardest remaining schedule is the Bengals. 
  • The Browns and Bills are sinking fast thanks to their 4-6 records against the AFC. Conference record is the 2nd tiebreaker used to break ties for wildcard spots (behind only head-to-head, which only applies if all teams in the tiebreaker situation have played each other). 
  • Pittsburgh and Houston are the only teams with just 3 conference losses. 
  • Baltimore is on shakier ground than their 8-5 record would indicate, because they already have 5 conference losses.
