The Chargers are doing their best to lose the very winnable AFC West despite a significant talent advantage on paper. San Diego lost in embarrassing fashion Monday night to the rival Chiefs who all of a sudden have won 4 games in a row. The Chargers, Chiefs, and Raiders are now all tied for the division lead at 4-3. San Diego was the biggest loser in the league this week dropping a whopping 20.8 percentage points in the projected playoff standings. While the Chargers still project as the favorite in the division, both Kansas City and Oakland made significant gains in this week’s projections. Denver is the only division team out of the race.
A Buffalo win and a New England loss improbably keep the two teams tied atop the AFC East heading into Week 9 at 5-2. The Bills were impressive in shutting out Washington, and they gained 10.1 percentage points in the projections as a result. New England continues to be an overwhelming favorite for the playoffs, but the door remains open for the Bills to win the division. New York actually lost 6.7 percentage points this week despite having a bye because of the gains made by other Wild Card contenders. Miami continues to invent ways to lose ball games.
Pittsburgh beat the Patriots to become the most likely playoff team in the AFC at 93.5 percent. The Steelers also pushed their likelihood of a division title to 67.4 percent. Baltimore struggled to beat Arizona, but the 21-point comeback allowed the Ravens to remain steady in the projections. Cincinnati is actually tied with Baltimore at 5-2 and gained 5 percentage points in the standings. The Bengals are a nice story, but won’t be considered real contenders unless they can beat the Steelers and Ravens head to head later on in the year. The Browns make the playoffs in only 1.7 percent of simulations.
Houston is the only team in the AFC South to have outscored its opposition. The Texans are solid 87.9 percent favorites to win the division as Tennessee is the only real competition remaining. The projection for the Titans remained virtually unchanged after an expected win against foundering Indianapolis. Indy remains winless on the year and is the first team to reach 0.0 percent in playoff probability. Jacksonville is down to just 1.0 percent with a record of 2-6.
