It’s about to get real, folks. Over the next two weeks, I want to take a closer look at each of the NFL’s conferences, with a focus on teams in the playoff picture.

We start with the AFC. The American Football Conference is wide open after the Buffalo Bills knocked off unbeaten Kansas City in Week 11. The North Division is down to a 2-man race, with the Steelers earning the upper hand in said race after a big win over the Ravens in Week 11. The Wild Card race is fascinating, mixing in a bevy of star QBs and young squads on the rise.

For each team below, I’ll list their playoff chances (via PlayoffStatus.com), remaining strength of schedule (via Tankathon), and my prediction on their finish in the Conference standings. Let’s dive in!
