Football Homestretch

Week 13 is now in the books. Seattle is the only team that has secured a playoff spot, but many of the teams listed will be making the playoffs, it's just a question of what their seeding will be:

AFC

1. Denver Broncos
2. New England Patriots
3. Indianapolis Colts
4. Cincinnati Bengals
5. Kansas City Chiefs
6. Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens have the tie-breaker against the Dolphins via a head-to-head win. Everyone else is sub-500. The Bengals square off against the Colts this weekend and if they win, they will move into #3 spot and have tie-breakers against the Colts and Patriots. So there is an off chance they could seize the #2 spot if they finish with the same record as the Pats. Likewise, the Pats have the head-to-head against Denver so the Broncos need to maintain a game lead if they want to keep home field. The Chiefs are essentially locked into the #5 spot.

NFC

1. Seattle Seahawks
2. New Orleans Saints
3. Dallas Cowboys
4. Detroit Lions
5. Carolina Panthers
6. San Francisco 49ers

The Seahawks are firmly in control of the #1 spot having beaten the Saints last week. Of course, the Saints have to square off against the Panthers twice (whom the Seahawks also beat) so the Panthers could vault up to win the division and the #2 seed. Dallas and Detroit could actually still lose their divisions as the Eagles are tied with the Cowboys and the Packers and Bears are also not too far back of the Lions. Even the 49ers could have trouble as the Arizona Cardinals are only a game back of them for the last spot.

Much is still to be settled in the final four weeks.
