3. New England Patriots (9-3) (1) – They have home field, for now, but there are some tough games left.
4. Seattle Seahawks (8-4) (T-5) – Looking like last year’s Seahawks, and doesn’t that just suck for everyone else.
5. Indianapolis Colts (8-4) (T-5) – Not as good as the teams they’re chasing.
6. Arizona Cardinals (9-3) (4) – I think they’re in real trouble. Like miss the playoffs trouble.

T-8. Philadelphia Eagles (9-3) (12) – OK. That was impressive.
T-10. Kansas City Chiefs (7-5) (7) – When they miss the playoffs, they can think about how they lost to the Raiders and the Titans this year.
T-10 Dallas Cowboys (8-4) (8) – Uh-oh. It’s December…
12. San Diego Chargers (8-4) (15) – It doesn’t get easier. New England, then Denver.

15. Miami Dolphins (7-5) (17) – Maybe not too little, definitely not too late.
16. San Francisco 49ers (7-5) (T-13) – Somebody’s gotta miss the playoffs, and I’m guessing they’re somebody.
17. Buffalo Bills (7-5) (18) – Defense keeps them in it.
18. Cleveland Browns (7-5) (16) – Can we see Johnny Football now or do we have to keep pretending Hoyer gives them anything.

T-20. New Orleans Saints (5-7) (20) – All of a sudden they decided to show up.
T-20. St. Louis Rams (5-7) (22) – Imagine this team with their starting QB in any other division in football.

29. Tennessee Titans (2-10) (29) – They might actually be the worst team in the NFL.
30. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-10) (32) – I think they need another win or two more than they need a one or two slot higher position in the draft.

32. Oakland Raiders (1-11) (30) – 52-0?! You win one game and what, you think you can take the next entire week off?!
