AFC Update: 10 Contenders/7 ‘offs spots, unless…

The NFL, the least prostituted, but still heavily so regarding its ‘offs system, now has 7 ‘offs teams from each conference.

If the Covid19 situation cancels games, there likely will be 8 from each conference and no byes. As is, only the top seed gets a bye, but alas no real home advantage.

The (9-0) Steelers and (8-1) defending champion Chiefs will almost certainly qualify.

Buffalo, despite a hail mary loss at (6-3) Arizona (maybe an NFC update this week) is in good shape with a (7-3) record.

Six teams are (6-3) (playing off Teddy Pendergrass “if you do not know the divisions by now), Cleveland, Baltimore, Tennessee, Indianapolis, Las Vegas Raiders and the Miami Dolphins. Bill Belichick, who erroneously, said the Giants were ’58 title game faves vs the Colts, and his Pats are (4-5).
