Denver is no more assured to lose 5 of the next 7 as KC or OAK is assured to win 5 of their next 7, which is kind of what need to happen. The poor state of affairs in the AFC South really helps here. The Wildcard teams are going to come from the North and East.
Steelers (6-4), Bills (5-4), Jets (5-4) ... Chiefs, Raiders and Dolphins knotted up at 4-5.
Bengals and Patriots are near locks to win those divisions. Chiefs and Raiders have to hope that Denver craters and one takes the West, or a combination of things have to happen to fall the right way with those 5 teams that are in pursuit of the 5th-6th seeds.
Room for error is minimal for Chiefs, Raiders and Dolphins. I'm excited to see how it all plays out, but again I think Denver can get 3-4 wins out of this final 7 and secure their spot as the #3.
I just hope they do the smart thing and put Peyton the shelf for a month.

The Jets will continue to lose. They'll go 8-8. Key here is our game against buffalo. That could decide the wildcard. We also have the tiebreaker over the steelers keep in mind. Buffalo, KC, Miami and Oakland will fight for the two spots. I see KC and Pittsburgh making it.
