The ones in the hunt are

Tiebreaker: Buffalo drops out first due to worse conference record among the teams(5-6) the others are (5-5). Denver next because of lower strength of victory(.423, Jags and Ravens are .491). Jacksonville gets in over Baltimore because of stronger schedule (.571 to Ravens .544) -Thanks to ESPN, I could not figure this out on my own.

1. I could just choke the shit out of Jon Gruden.

He blew that game last week. He tried to sit on a 10 point lead for almost an entire half.

2. If my NFC picks are right, then the WC race then looks like...

New Orleans (6-9)
Detroit (6-9)
Arizona (6-9)
Washington (6-9)
Tampa Bay (6-9)
Carolina (6-9)
St Louis (6-9)
Chicago (5-10)
NY Giants (5-10)
Dallas (5-10)

I do not have the energy to figure out the tiebreakers in this one, but I'm hoping it looks like this after this weekend. :D

on edit: Meanwhile I hope the AFC race looks like this after the weekend. ;)
