The Broncos, coming off another thrilling victory, remain the number 2 seed, but after that, we have some big changes to the AFC playoff picture. The biggest change was the Jacksonville Jaguars overtaking the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South and moving to the 3 seed in the AFC, while the free-falling Colts are now the 6th seed and in danger of missing the postseason entirely. Despite their Thanksgiving Night loss, the Ravens are at the top of the AFC North, while the Chargers and Bills are your other two wildcard teams. If any of those teams slip up in the coming weeks, the Texans and their dominating defense are knocking on the door for a wildcard spot.
