With everyone now on even ground:

AFC:

3. New Orleans (8-2)
4. LA Rams (7-3)
5. Carolina (7-3)
6. Atlanta (6-4, and with tonight's win, a sweep over both the other 6-4 teams for the #6)
7. Detroit (6-4, conference tiebreaker to be #7 over...)
8. Seattle (6-4, will not play Detroit) 

Personal Vegas log:

• Patriots won, 8-2, need to go over 12.5  Lots of work to do.
• Seahawks lost, 6-4 now, need to go under 10.5.  A 4-2 finish would still win it, and they have Philly and Jacksonville at the least.
• Packers lost, 5-5, need to go under 10.5, cashes with one more loss.
• Lions won, now 6-4 and need to go over 7.5, so I only need two more.
• So not only do I have $45 cash on another ticket in another sport from Sunday, I also went 4-0 on my win totals bets for the week.

Ratings:

• Cowboys won another one in the ratings war.  Up 13% over last year for the Sunday nighter.  Especially with Elliot now suspended and their season over, one DOES now have to wonder if Jerry Jones being the main anti-protest owner IS resonating among fans.
• Week 11 National (CBS):  Creamed.  Down  18%.
• Week 11 Regional (CBS):  DOWN THIRTY-SIX PERCENT -- lowest broadcast rating of the year for any NFL window.
• Week 11 Single (FOX):  Up 8%.
