2018 NFL Playoff Picture Here are the pr

The NFL season is headed into Week 12, and somehow, every single team still has a shot to make the playoffs.That's right, 11 weeks are in the books and not a single team has been eliminated from playoff contention. That means you don't have to give up on the season just yet, Raiders fans. As a matter of fact, no one will have to give up this week, because there are no elimination scenarios in Week 12, marking just the fourth time since the playoff field expanded in 1990 that we'll have made it through 12 weeks without a single team being eliminated. There are no playoff elimination scenarios in Week 12. Since the 12-team playoff format began in 1990, this will be only the 4th time that all teams are still in Super Bowl contention with 5 weeks to play (1995: all 30 teams still alive; 2004, 2015, 2018: all 32). Ivan Urena (@Ivan_Urena1) So who has the best shot at making the playoffs? Glad you asked.We'll be projecting the postseason chances for all 32 teams this week. These playoff projections Gianni Fairbrother Jersey will be based on data from . Basically, Oh plugged some numbers into his SportsLine computer this week and simulated the rest of the season, and using those numbers, we're going to let you know the playoff chances for all 32 teams, plus the projected 12-team playoff field.Alright, let's get to this week's playoff projections. Note:Remember, this is a projection based on how we think the rest of the regular season will play out. If you want to see the current playoff standings, of what the playoff race looks like as we Carey Price Women Jersey head into Week 12. AFC Playoff Projection 1. Kansas City Chiefs: (12.7 wins) AFC West Champs The computer didn't really seem to care that the Chiefs lost to the Rams on Monday. Despite the lo s, the Chiefs are still being given the best chance to represent the AFC in the . The computer says the Chiefs have a 33.26 percent chance of playing in Atlanta on Super Bowl Sunday while the Patriots chances are slightly lower at 30.33 percent. No other team in the AFC is over 15 percent. Week 12: bye. 2. New England Patriots: (11.4) AFC East Champs The Patriots took one week off and all of the sudden, the computer no longer views them as the NFL's top team. Although the Patriots had the best chances of winning the Super Bowl in last week's projections, they've fallen to third in that department. The computer is giving New England a 16.24 percent chance of winning it all, which ranks behind New Orleans (25.33 percent) and Kansas City (17.36 percent). The Rams are being given the fourth best chance to win at 16.16 percent. Week 12:Sunday at Jets, 1 p.m. ET, CBS, or . 3. Pittsburgh Steelers: (10.5) AFC North Champs The Steelers might have had an ugly win on Sunday, but the good news for them is that the computer counts ugly wins the same as every other win. Thanks to their 20-16 win over the Jaguars, the Steelers chances of winning the AFC North got a major boost. The computer basically views the Steelers as a lock to win the division, giving them a 93.3 percent chance. As for the other teams in the AFC North, their title hopes are on life support with the Ravens being given a 4 percent chance and the Bengals a 2.7 percent chance. Week 12:Sunday at Denver, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS, or . 4. Houston Texans: (10.3) AFC South Champs A seven-game winning streak can really do wonders for your playoff chances, at least in the eyes of our computer. At 7-3, the Texans are being given an 83.2 percent chance of getting into the postseason. On the other hand, the computer isn't as confident about their chances of winning the AFC South. Although the Texans are a heavy favorite and being given a 65.3 percent chance to win the division, the Colts (18.8 percent) and Titans (15.6 percent) are still very much alive in the eyes of the computer. Week 12: Monday vs. Tenne see, 8:15 Dominic Moore Kids Jersey p.m. ET, ESPN. 5. Los Angeles Chargers: (10.7) Wild Card The Chargers stunning lo s to the Broncos didn't seem to bother the computer too much. Despite the lo s, the Chargers playoff chances are still sitting at 92.2 percent. The only thing the lo s really did was kill pretty much any chance L.A. had of winning the AFC West. The computer says the Chargers chances of winning the division are down to 9.2 percent. Week 12: Sunday vs. Arizona, 4:05 p.m. ET, Fox, . 6. Indianapolis Colts: (8.7) Wild Card This is the fourth week of our playoff projections, and for the fourth week in a row, we have a new team in the AFC's final playoff spot. IT'S TOTAL CHAOS. First, we had the Ravens. Then, we had the Bengals. Then, we had the Titans, and now, we have the Colts. After steamrolling the Titans, the Colts vaulted into this spot, but we probably shouldn't write anything in stone just yet, because the computer views this as a wide open race between three of the five teams that are currently sitting at 5-5. The Colts have a 36.4 percent chance of making the playoffs, which is just barely ahead of the Ravens (28.7 percent) and Titans (24.5 percent). Week 12: Sunday vs. Miami, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS, or . Just mi sed:Titans (8.4), Ravens (8.4)Here's a list of all the other AFC teams (their percentage chances of getting into the playoffs is listed next to Howie Morenz Kids Jersey them in parentheses):Bengals (13.1 percent), Dolphins (11.1 percent), Broncos (4.2 percent), Browns (1.6 percent), Jaguars (1.1 percent), Jets (0.1 percent), Bills (0.0 percent), Raiders (0.0 percent).Although the Raiders and Bills haven't officially been eliminated from the playoffs, the computer says there's no chance for them. Sorry. NFC Playoff Projection 1. Los Angeles Rams: (13.6 wins) NFC West Champs The Rams are currently projected to finish with the most wins in the NFC, but that doesn't mean they're the NFC team that the computer likes the most. According to SportsLine, the Rams have a much lower chance of being the NFC's Super Bowl team than the Saints. The Rams chances are sitting at 32.75 percent, while the Saints chances are sitting at 43.92 percent. Sometimes the computer can be confusing and this is one of those times. The problem for the Rams is that they can't actually win 13.6 games and finish .4 games ahead of the Saints. If the two teams end the season in a tie, the Saints will get the top seed due to their head-to-head tiebreaker. Week 12: bye. 2. New Orleans Saints: (13.2) NFC South ChampsThe computer has Carey Price Kids Jersey officially fallen in love with the Saints. After watching New Orleans steamroll the Eagles, the computer is now ranking the Saints as the NFL's best team. The Saints are being given the best chance of any team in the NFL to win the Super Bowl (25.33 percent) and they're also, as previously mentioned, being given the best chance to come out of the NFC. Week 12: Thursday vs. Atlanta, 8:15 p.m. ET, NBC, . 3. Chicago Bears: (10.3) NF
