Still New Orleans before I can do the Politicals for this week, but now only 4 spots left in the playoffs with 2 weeks to go.

AFC current seeds:

1.  Baltimore -- WON AFC NORTH, magic number for the #1 seed is one.
2.  New England -- IN PLAYOFFS, play Buffalo and can clinch the East next week.
3.  Kansas City -- WON AFC WEST, needs New England to lose for a shot at the first round bye.
4.  Houston -- Magic Number for the AFC South is one.
5.  Buffalo -- IN PLAYOFFS, needs to beat New England and probably have them lose again in Week 17 for the East.
6.  Pittsburgh, with one fewer conference loss than Tennessee

Still a shot:

7.  Tennessee -- needs Pittsburgh to lose at least once.
8.  Indianapolis -- needs a win over New Orleans and a lot of help
9-10.  Cleveland and Oakland -- need both Pittsburgh and Tennessee to lose twice, they win twice, and Indy doesn't jump them by winning three times.

ELIMINATED:

Jets
Dolphins
Bengals
Broncos
Chargers
Jaguars

NFC Current Seeds:

San Francisco's loss shakes things up QUITE A BIT.  You now have three teams (SF, GB, Seattle) all 11-3, New Orleans can join them by beating Indy Monday night.

Oh, and Minnesota is 10-4.

So we'll do both scenarios.

Seattle has the tiebreaker over San Francisco, which must be applied FIRST.

1.  Seattle -- IN PLAYOFFS  Common games tiebreaker over Green Bay
2.  Green Bay -- IN PLAYOFFS Conference record over
3.  New Orleans -- WON NFC SOUTH
4.  Dallas -- Plays Philly next week, clinches NFC Least with a win.
5.  San Francisco -- IN PLAYOFFS -- Plays Seattle Week 17, would be more than surprised if that's not the Flex Game.
6.  Minnesota -- magic number for the playoffs over the Rams is one.

If New Orleans loses to Indy, the only change is that the tiebreaker for Green Bay and New Orleans does not then currently apply.

Still a shot:

7.  Rams -- need to win out and Minnesota to lose out.

Eliminated:

Redskins
Giants
Bears
Lions
Bucs
Panthers
Cardinals
