The New England Patriots would be the No. 2 seed if the season ended today. While we still have four weeks left and they could easily jump the Broncos, who also sit at 11-2, it seems a pretty safe bet New England will face the No. 7 seed should they be unable to snag the first-round bye.
After a massive Sunday Night Football win over the Chiefs, the Texans jumped into the seventh slot. After starting 0-3, they've stormed back to win their last 10 and are undefeated in their last five. In that win streak, they took down the Jaguars, Bills, Colts, and Chiefs, all high-quality wins.
