NFL Week 11 Predictions: Playoff Picture Begins To Form

The AFC South may be the easiest division to predict out of the whole AFC. However, even the mishap Indianapolis Colts could still come from behind and win it if the Titans suddenly start losing all of their games.

The Tennessee Titans are on top of this division with a commanding lead. At 9-0 they come into Sunday playing division rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Now to most people, a 9-0 team against a 4-5 team isn't anything. Well to be honest, you would be surprised what facing an undefeated team does to a team. It makes them step up. Everybody wants to be the first ones to beat them. The Jags still do not have what it takes.

The only other team in this division that could possibly give the Titans a run for their money (and the literally almost did become the first team to beat the Titans) is the Indianapolis Colts. This Sunday they play division rival Houston Texans. Do not count the Texans out just yet. They are not that bad are they? Oh wait, sorry, I keep forgetting we are not talking about the same Texans of last year.

 

The AFC West by far is the worst division in the AFC right now. The leader of the division is the 5-4 Denver Broncos. Behind them is the San Diego Chargers who are 4-5. These are the only two teams that I see winning the division. This division could easily be won with a 8-8 record though.

The Denver Broncos head to Atlanta to play the rookie lead Falcons. Of coarse, even with Matt Ryan, the Falcons seem to be firring on all cylinders.

If the Broncos lose to the Falcons like I think they will, and if the Chargers beat the Steelers (which I don't think they will), then there will be a tie in the division. Of coarse that isn't say very much because it could change very quickly the following week.
