2014 Playoff Machine + Your Predictions

Have been fooling around with it a bit and realized something pretty interesting the AFC for next week: If KC beats the Steelers next week, no matter how the rest of the AFCN does, they're in the 5th or 6th seed.  That game is huge next week and basically for a playoff spot.  The AFCN and one WC spot should be up for grabs week 17.  I think KC has been very overlooked recently and could make some Wildcard round noise against either an inconsistent Cincy team or mistake prone Colt.  If the broncos beat the Bengals next week, the Pitt-Cincy game Week 17 will be for a WC if the Ravens can beat the lowly QB deprived Texans and Browns

 

In the NFC, a cross conference game with the Colts-Cowboys has big implications next week.  If they lose, the Eagles have a leg up barring if they lose to the Giants Week 17 (Which I think they do)

 

My Playoff Picture:

 

AFC

 

1-Patriots

2-Denver

3-Indianapolis

4-Baltimore

5-Kansas City

6-Pittsburgh

 

NFC

 

1-Seattle

2-Green Bay

3-Dallas

4-Carolina

5-Arizona

6-Detroit

Much more fun and just as likely to put Philly in and dallas out. But in my mind 1,2,5,6 are basically locks the way you have them in the nfc. Arizona coming in here would be glorious if we can make the playoffs. Get a win under cams belt and who knows.
