AFC
Division leaders W-L Div. Conf. Remaining opponents
1. *New England Patriots 14-0 5-0 11-0 MIA (1-13), @ NYG (9-5) = 10-18 (.357)
Now that home-field advantage is wrapped up, there's nothing left to play for in the regular season ... or is there?
2. z-Indianapolis Colts 12-2 4-0 8-2 HOU (7-7), TEN (8-6) = 15-13 (.536)
The Colts are locked into the No. 2 playoff position. With nothing to play for in final two weeks, might be time to get healthy.
3. y-San Diego Chargers 9-5 3-1 7-3 DEN (6-8), @ OAK (4-10) = 10-18 (.357)
Don't tell the Chargers they have nothing to play for. A No. 3 seed means avoiding the Patriots for one more week.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers 9-5 5-0 7-4 @ STL (3-11), @ BAL (4-10) = 7-21 (.250)
Not the way you want to enter the playoffs if you're the Steelers, who are looking just to hang on in the AFC North.

Wild cards W-L Div. Conf. Remaining opponents
5. Jacksonville Jaguars 10-4 2-3 7-3 OAK (4-10), @ HOU (7-7) = 11-17 (.393)
Their win at Pittsburgh on Sunday sent a message around the AFC and nearly solidified the No. 5 seed.
6. Cleveland Browns 9-5 3-2 7-4 @ CIN (5-9), SF (4-10) = 9-19 (.321)
They still have an outside shot at a division crown, but their main focus right now is just getting in.

Still in the hunt W-L Div. Conf. Remaining opponents
Tennessee Titans 8-6 3-2 5-5 NYJ (3-11), @ IND (12-2) = 15-13 (.536)
The remaining schedule includes one team playing for next season and another that is likely to be resting for the playoffs.

NFC
Division leaders W-L Div. Conf. Remaining opponents
1. z-Dallas Cowboys 12-2 4-1 9-1 @ CAR (5-9), @ WAS (7-7) = 12-16 (.429)
Home-field advantage was almost a certainty, until their loss on Sunday put that in jeopardy.
2. z-Green Bay Packers 12-2 3-1 8-2 @ CHI (5-9), DET (6-8) = 11-17 (.393)
They've wrapped up the division and now the Cowboys have given Green Bay a reason to play hard for at least another week.
3. y-Seattle Seahawks 9-5 5-1 8-3 BAL (4-10), @ ATL (3-11) = 7-21 (.250)
All that momentum gained from their five-game winning streak came to a sudden halt with their loss to Carolina.
4. y-Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9-5 5-0 8-2 @ SF (4-10), CAR (6-8) = 10-18 (.357)
The No. 3 seed would be up for grabs had the Bucs not played Seattle this season. But they did, and lost 20-6 in Week 1.

Wild cards W-L Div. Conf. Remaining opponents
5. New York Giants 9-5 3-3 7-5 @ BUF (7-7), NE (14-0) = 21-7 (.750)
What once seemed impossible -- and not too long ago -- is now reality: The Giants actually could miss the playoffs.
6. Minnesota Vikings 8-6 3-3 6-5 WAS (7-7), @ DEN (6-8) = 13-15 (.464)
Looking like a strong candidate for a wild card, but Week 16 matchup with Redskins is crucial.

Still in the hunt W-L Div. Conf. Remaining opponents
New Orleans Saints 7-7 3-3 6-4 PHI (6-8), @ CHI (5-9) = 11-17 (.393)
They're still in it after finally getting back to .500 on Sunday, and a plus-.500 conference mark is playing in their favor.
Washington Redskins 7-7 2-3 5-5 @ MIN (8-6), DAL (12-2) = 20-8 (.714)
Remaining schedule is a beast, but the stars could be starting to align for a team many are cheering for.
Carolina Panthers 6-8 2-3 6-4 DAL (12-2), @ TB (9-5) = 21-7 (.750)
Like a cockroach, the Panthers just won't go away. The exterminator, however, is on the way

quindi JAX giocherebbe fuori casa anche se ha un record migliore?

Sì, le vincenti delle Division hanno comunque il fattore campo dalla loro parte.

Sì, nella NFL non è come nella NBA...indipendentemente dal record in stagione gioca in casa quella con il seed migliore...

Le 2 vincenti di division giocano sempre in casa il WC game...

Le 2 squadre con il bye giocano in casa il Divisional Game
