Playoff Projection

This is what has already been determined.

• The Patriots have clinched the AFC East, a first round bye, and home field advantage throughout, as the number one seed.
• The Colts have clinched the AFC South, and a first round bye, as the number two seed.
• The Chargers have clinched a playoff berth as winners of the AFC West.

2. Indianapolis - Clinched
   
3. San Diego - Clicking on all cylinders
   
4. Cleveland - Surprise of the year
   
5. Jacksonville - Tough out in the playoffs
