Week 14 Playoff Picture:
AFC:
1. Texans (11-1)
2. Bengals (10-2)
3. Broncos (9-3)
4. Patriots (8-4)
5. Jaguars (9-3)
6. Ravens (7-5)
In the hunt: Steelers (7-5), Raiders (6-6)
This doesn't yet account for the Raiders' big win over the Jags last night, which definitely bolsters their playoff chances considerably. The Jags are still in the driver's seat for the 5 seed though.
NFC:
1. Panthers (10-2)
2. 49ers (9-3)
3. Bears (9-3)
4. Giants (8-4)
5. Vikings (8-4)
6. Packers (7-5)
In the hunt: Bucs (7-5), Cowboys (7-5), Rams (7-5)
Things certainly got a lot more interesting with the top 3 seeds all losing last week, particularly in the NFC North where the Bears' once big lead has shrunk somewhat with both wildcard teams nipping at their heels. Additionally, the Giants have a h2h win over the Bears so could still move up to the 3. The NFC remains the conference to watch for playoff developments.
