If the playoffs began today 12/9

[The Gipper]

If the playoffs began today, here is who would be in:

 

AFC: Division winners: Colts, Chargers, Bengals, Patriots

.......Wild Cards: Denver, 8-4, Jacksonville 7-5

.....in the running (in this order): Ravens 6-6 (6-4 conf. record), Jets 6-6 (5-5 conf. record), Dolphins 6-6 (4-4 conf. record), Steelers 6-6 (4-5 conf. record). Titans and Houston at 5-7

 

 

NFC: Division winner: Saints, Vikings, Cardinals, Eagles

......Wild Cards: Dallas 8-4, Green Bay 8-4

....in the running: Giants 7-5, Atlanta 6-6

 

Only Indy and New Orleans have clinched a playoff spot, but the Bengals have a virtual 4 game lead with 4 games to go as they have the tie breakers with both the Ravens and Steelers. The same is true for the Cardinals.
