afc IS a crapshoot, but in my opinion only the titans chiefs and patriots have a shot at the SB.
with 4 games to go, only 4 teams in the ENTIRE LEAGUE cannot make the playoffs. jets jags texans Lions-3 of them afc teams. that is almost surreal.
AFC
chiefs offense finally woke up- maybe it was the raiders after all- if they are "awake" finally, they are probably the fav to win the afc most likely finish 3-1
titans- if they get healthy-and henry back are 2nd most likely finish 3-1 or 4-0
patriots 3rd-if they win out, probably 2nd instead of the titans due to home field factor, but we'll see. 4 games left - they are capable of finishing 4-0 to end the season, will they though. at worst 2-2 imo best 4-0, most likely 3-1 (loss to either bills or colts)
chargers 4th imo starting to play better. most likely finish 3-1 or 2-2 depending on which chiefs & broncos team shows up
colts 5th playing better, one of the tougher schedules remaining. imo finish 2-2 with loses to pats and cards.
rest of the top teams in the afc:
ravens-in my opinion- have no shot. i predicted ~2 weeks ago(dec 1) i thought they were going to lose 2 or 3 games down the stretch. That has already come true as they lost to the steelers and browns in consecutive weeks, they still have to face packers bengals rams steelers- at BEST i see them 2-2 finishing the season. they will beat the steelers, and maybe the bengals(they seem to be stumbling), lose to packers and rams. depending on what the OTHER teams do, they might not make the playoffs.
Bills....are crumbling, no shot they are one dimensional offensively, and for the past several weeks teams are running all over them defensively. if they lose 1 more game imo they do not make the playoffs most likely end of season will be 3-1 imo due to the only quality team they are going to play is the patriots.
browns.... tough one, capable of beating most teams, but imo at best will finish 3-1 most likely loss is to the packers in 2 weeks and the bengals game might be huge to end the season
bengals... up and down team, like the browns, capable of beating most teams, imo best finish will be 3-1 or 2-2, losses being to the chiefs and maybe the browns(which potentially will be a huge game for both teams), i think they beat broncos and ravens .
broncos- can play good, can play like crap, which team shows up, most likely finish 2-2 or 3-1 imo last game of the season MIGHT mean nothing standing wise for the chiefs, if it means nothing to the chiefs, then probably they rest players for the WC game the next week and if the broncos need the win to make the playoffs. if the chiefs have a shot at the #1 seed though, all bets are off.
