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 current 6 playoff teams include 4 of the 6 top teams in the AFC by pythagorean win percentage: the Patriots (1), Broncos (2), Chiefs (3), and Raiders (5). The Bills (4) and Chargers (6) are 2 games out of the playoff picture. The Ravens are 8th in the conference by pythagorean numbers, and the Texans are 13th. 
• All four of the AFC West teams are in the top-6 in the AFC by pythagorean win percentage. 
• The toughest remaining schedule in the AFC belongs to the Broncos, thanks to 2 games left against the Chiefs and 1 each against the Raiders and Patriots. 
• The easiest remaining schedule in the AFC belongs to the Bills. Of current playoff teams, it's New England.
