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:

• The Patriots have clinched the AFC East. 
• There are 3 tiers to the AFC playoff picture: 
• The race for seeds 1-3:
• New England has an early edge thanks to their better conference record. They also have the common opponents tiebreaker over the Bengals (4-1 vs PIT, BUF, DEN, HOU), while Cincy is 2-2 versus those 4 teams). 
• Denver has beaten the Patriots head-to-head. 
• The Bengals and Broncos play in week 16, if Denver wins, they will win any three-way tie as they will have beaten both NE and CIN. Any other result and three-way ties will come down to conference record and/or common opponents. 
• The race for the 4th seed (AFC South winner)
• The Colts play the Texans this week. The winner won't wrap up the division, but will put themselves very much in the driver's seat. 
• The race for the wild card spots
• The Chiefs have a 2-game advantage over the other two teams for conference record in the loss column. 
• The Steelers have the edge on the Jets if both win out, because the Steelers have a better record in common games (3-1 vs CLE, NE, OAK, IND while the Jets are 2-2), and if both win out they will finish with the same conference record. 
• The Broncos and Jets are tied for the toughest remaining schedule among AFC playoff teams. The Chiefs have the easiest remaining schedule among AFCplayoff teams.
