This would have been a good year to actually be great and not lay eggs with KC struggling and the AFC being so competitive.

How far they go after that will depend primarily on whether they get their offensive line healthy. If Little and Cleveland return in the next couple of weeks, the line should be o.k. The final 3 games are very winnable, although the Saints won't be easy.

The Ravens appear to be the top seed, but there just isn't a dominant team at this point. The Chiefs, Dolphins and Bills along with the Ravens and Jaguars, also have good chances to win the AFC. If Kirk is able to return for the playoffs, the Jaguars are certainly capable of beating any of these other teams in the playoffs. The 49er's are clearly the best team in the NFL and should be solid favorites to win the Super Bowl.

We aren't getting a bye week.. Miami or Baltimore is.  We also didn't get a bye week last year... The Jaguars would host the Browns if the playoffs started next week. The NFC just got mixed up with Dallas beating Philly. Browns host the Bears, go to a depleted Houston, host the Jets and then finish at Cincy. Right now we are neck and neck with KC for the 3rd seed. They host the Bengals and play at the Chargers in their finale. Doubt they'd lose to the Patriots or Raiders. They're really our only competition at this point as far as seeding goes. This is all assuming we'll win the AFC South, who is likely going to be 0-4 this week.
