NFL Playoff Picture - Week 11

The NFL has completed all their bye weeks, so we can begin to look at the playoff picture. I do this every year but unlike the NFL or ESPN, I keep the previous week's records available so you can compare and see how teams have improved or fallen off the pace. There has been a tie this year, which I denote with an asterisk to keep the columns pretty. I'm also including the best non-playoff teams in each conference to help further analysis down the line.

NFC
   Week 11
1. Atl (9-1)
2. SF* (7-2)
3. GB  (7-3)
4. NYG (6-4)
5. Chi (7-3)
6. Sea (6-4)
------------
7. TB  (6-4)
8. Min (6-4)

AFC
   Week 11
1. Hou (9-1)
2. Bal (8-2)
3. NE  (7-3)
4. Den (7-3)
5. Ind (6-4)
6. Pit (6-4)
------------
7. Cin (5-5)

That Indy-Denver matchup would certainly be interesting, as would Pittsburgh and the Patriots. Long way to go though.

Best,

Sean
