The AFC is weak this year. The Steelers are going to win the division so that's one playoff spot. The Patriots, Chiefs , Texans and Chargers will take the other spots leaving one more. Right now, we are the #6 seed. Looking at the rest of the conference, I think we still have a decent shot. The only competition (right now) is the Dolphins (whom we own the tie-breaker with), the Ravens (who are in a free-fall and probably will own the tie-breaker with as well), Titans (who are 3-4 now but can get hot) and possibly the Jags (3-5 now but have Blake Bortles). 

Bengals should beat the Browns once, Raiders and Broncos. That puts them at 8-8.

Dolphins at 5-4 now will lose to the Packers, Vikings, Patriots. They can go 9-7 but will probably lose once to either the Colts, Bills (x2) and Jags.

Ravens at 4-5 now will lose to the Chiefs, Chargers and Falcons (and hey, maybe us again). That puts them at no better than 8-8.

Titans at 3-4 will lose to the Cowboys, Patriots, Texans and Redskins. That puts them at 8-8.

Jags at 3-5 will lose to the Steelers, Titans, Redskins and Texans. That puts them at 7-9. 


So yes, there is always one team that gets hot late and I could see the Titans possibly doing it. But right now, we keep rooting against them, the Dolphins and Ravens. 

No matter what; if the Bengals take care of their own business they will make the playoffs. So what if they lose to the Saints, who are by far a better team? Come out and win the AFC games.
