While the NFC playoff picture has pretty clearly separated into two tiers of teams, the AFC is much more of a muddled mess. No team has more than nine wins, but 10 have at least seven victories so far. As many as 13 teams in the AFC can still realistically look themselves in the mirror and think they can win their way into the playoffs with four games to go.
Three of those teams are in danger of falling off the postseason guest list. The Bills, Ravens and Steelers all came into the season with Super Bowl aspirations.
