x-clinched playoff spot, y-clinched division title, z-clinched first round bye, c-clinched conference title


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:
  • Remember that when breaking ties across divisions for wildcard spots, divisional ties must be broken first. 
  • All teams not listed in the playoff picture have been eliminated from playoff contention. 
Remaining Schedules and Playoff Scenarios for each team still alive: 
  • Patriots (BUF) 
    • Clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs
  • Broncos (OAK)
    • Clinched the AFC West division title
    • Can clinch a 1st round bye this week with a win or a Bengals loss/tie. 
  • Bengals (@PIT)
    • Clinched a playoff spot 
    • Can clinch the division with a win/tie
    • Can clinch a first round bye with a win and a Broncos loss
  • Colts (@TEN)
    • Clinched the AFC South division title
    • Can move up to the 3rd seed in the AFC with a win and a Bengals-Steelers tie
  • Steelers (CIN)
    • Clinched a playoff spot 
    • Can clinch the division with a win
  • Chargers (@KC)
    • Can clinch a playoff spot with a win or a tie and a Ravens loss/tie 
  • Ravens (CLE)
    • Can clinch a playoff spot with a win and a Chargers loss/tie
  • Texans (JAX)
