Interesting how the field has weeded out. If you're not in the AFC Suck division (tm) there are six teams vying for five playoff spots - New England, Cincinnati, Denver, Kansas City, Pittsburgh and the New York Jets. One of these (not the first two) will miss the playoffs.
In the NFC, outside the NFC Least division, there are five teams which are all in and just playing for seeding - Carolina, Arizona, Green Bay, Minnesota and Seattle. There's no wild card drama here.
If the Jets miss out, expect to see the whiny NY media complain that the Jets should be in and the AFC South should be out based on better record, oblivious to the fact that the Jets lost to the Texans on the field. If KC gets left out, they can make a better argument.
