A Wildcard will be harder to get & the Steelers may be even better in 2017

Don't see the Colts as competitors. The Colts were only ever good with Luck because the rest of the AFCS sucked so much. With the Texans and Titans looking like they might be decent teams for awhile, look for the Colts to go into the cellar.

They haven't had a winning season since 2014, when they went 6-0 in the AFCS, and 5-5 out of it.

Andrew Luck's QB Record: 43-27
Andrew Luck's AFCS Record: 22-5
Andrew Luck's non-AFCS Record: 21-22

The Colts have an 11 game winning streak against the Titans. They had back-to-back division sweeps in '13-'14. If they played in a different division, Andrew Luck and the Colts would be pretty crappy.

EDIT: Also not sure I see the Ravens as competitors either. They are 31-33 over the last four years and I am not sure what they've done to change that. They haven't been good since they lost Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and their running game after their SB win in '12.

Not terribly worried about the Dolphins either. Need to see another year of Jay Ajayi to see if he's serious. Dolphins have 1 winning season in the last 8 years, and that was last year's 10-6. 6-0 when Ajayi ran for 70+ yards, 4-6 when he didn't.

Of course I am not sure the Bengals are gong to be competing for a wildcard spot in 2017 either....
