(AFC South Champion) Despite losing a shocker to the Texans in Week 11, the computer is still projecting the Titans to finish with the top seed in the AFC and that's mostly due to the fact that Tenne see has the second-easiest remaining schedule of any team in the NFL. Although the Titans are favored to land the top spot in the conference, the computer does not like their chances of winning the Super Bowl.

The Bills have a 57.3% chance of winning the division, which is nearly 15% higher than the Patriots, who are sitting at just 42.7%.

On the other hand, the Chargers will get to play two of their final seven games against teams that are currently under .500 (Giants, Texans).7. Wild Card 3 Even though there's a logjam in the AFC standings for the final wild-card spot, the computer feels pretty confident that the Colts are going to land the seventh seed. According to SportsLine, the Colts have a 69.2% of getting in the postseason, which is well ahead of other postseason contenders like the Bengals (41.4%), Steelers (34.5%) and Browns (22.8%).Here's a list of the playoff chances for all the other AFC teams (their percentage chances of getting into the playoffs is listed next to them in parentheses):Bengals (41.4%), Steelers (34.5%), Browns (22.8%), Broncos (14.8%), Raiders (10.4%), Dolphins (1.1%), Jaguars (0.0 Guillermo Heredia Jersey %), Jets (0.0%), Texans (0.0%). Note: The Jets, Jaguars and Texans haven't been eliminated from playoff contention, but they have a 0% chance of making it because the computer hates them.

(NFC West Champion) Thanks to Colt McCoy, the Arizona Cardinals picked up a huge win without Kyler Murray, and the computer seems to really like the fact that the Cards have Justus Sheffield Jersey been able to win while Murray heals, because Arizona is now the Super Bowl favorite.

(NFC North Champion) Despite losing to an NFC North rival in Week 11, the computer does not think the Packers are going to lose the NFC North crown. According to SportsLine, the Packers have a 91.6% chance of winning the division, which is the computer's way of saying there's probably going to be a home playoff game at Lambeau Field this year. 3. (NFC East Champion) The Cowboys might be in a rut, but the computer doesn't seem to care. Despite losing for the second time in three weeks, the Cowboys are still getting some major love from the computer. Not only does Dallas have a 94.9% chance of making the playoffs, but the Cowboys also have an 86.1% chance of winning the division. Even with the Eagles and Washington both on two-game winning streaks, the computer doesn't think either team has a chance of catching the Cowboys. 4. (NFC South Champion) The computer thinks the Buccaneers basically locked up the NFC South title with their win on Monday night.

According to SportsLine, the 49ers have a 55.8% chance of making the playoffs, which is a notable number, because no team below them is Ichiro Suzuki Jersey even being given a 50% chance of making it. 7. Wild Card 3 If there's one team that did the biggest favor for itself in Week 11, it was the Minnesota Vikings. Thanks to their win over the Packers, the Vikings are being given a 48.1% chance of making the playoffs.
