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 and a first-round bye. They will clinch home field advantage with one more win. 
  • The Bengals have clinched a playoff spot. They can clinch their division with one more win or one more Steelers loss. 
  • The Broncos need to keep winning to stay ahead of the Chiefs. Kansas City currently holds the tiebreaker with a better division record (4-1 vs 3-2). This makes their Mondya Night date with the Bengals critical. 
  • The Chiefs and Steelers have the edge on the Jets for the wild card spots. They also both have substantially easier remaining schedules than the Jets. 
  • Houston currently has the edge for the AFC South, but if they finish tied with Indianapolis the tiebreaker will likely come down to strength of victory, where Houston currently has a slight advantage (.459 vs .452).
