If the season ended today, these 12 teams are in the playoffs. Which of these front runners are the real deal and which are fool’s gold?
Playoffs?! Don’t talk about playoffs! Are you kidding me?
Yes, we still have eight weeks left in the season, and a lot of things can change, but it doesn’t hurt to look at where things would stand if the season ended today. Currently, the Raiders, Patriots, Texans, and Ravens are the division leaders in the AFC with the Broncos and Chiefs rounding out the wild card. In the NFC, the Cowboys, Falcons, Seahawks, and Vikings lead their respective divisions with two NFC East foes in the Giants and Redskins claiming the two wild card spots.
