If the season ended today (which it doesnt) AFC -- Week 8

[Joe]

If the season ended today, which it doesn't (smartasses) here's how the AFC playoff picture looks:

1. Broncos 6-1
2. Patriots 6-2
3. Bengals 4-2-1
4. Colts 5-3
5. Chargers 5-3 Over Buffalo due to conference record
6. Bills 5-3 Over Baltimore due to strength of victory

Next week's game is going to be huge. I know a lot of people are pessimistic (realistic?) about the remaining games in this tough stretch but every game, when you look at it one game at a time, is very winnable. Absolutely must win this game if you don't want to be walking into Denver on a clear, calm, 60 degree night in January instead of a cloudy, snowy, 30 degree night in Foxboro

The Pats' defensive strength vs the Broncos offensive strength. I wonder how good PManning will look when D.Thomas and E.Sanders are blanketed. Plus Arrington on WW, who's the forgotten man now, and BBrowner on J. Thomas.

This will be the first time the Pats are >3 pt underdogs at home since 2001 (The Greatest Show on Turf) to the Rams. The Rams won that game but our guys hung with em & got sweet revenge in the SB.
