If it ended right now...

A quick glimpse at the playoff scenarios in both conferences:

AFC
1. Tennessee (10-1)
2. Pittsburgh (8-3)
3. N.Y. Jets (8-3)
4. Denver (6-5)
5. Indianapolis (7-4)
6. Baltimore (7-4)
OUT: New England (7-4)

Pittsburgh has the edge over the Jets for the #2 seed by virtue of a better conference record (Steelers are 7-1, Jets are 6-3). Indianapolis and Baltimore also make it over the Patriots on conference record -- Colts are 6-2, Ravens are 6-3 and Pats are 5-4.

NFC
1. N.Y. Giants (10-1)
2. Tampa Bay (8-3)
3. Arizona (7-4)
4. Chicago (6-5)
5. Carolina (8-3)
6. Washington (7-4)
OUT: Atlanta (7-4), Dallas (7-4), Minnesota (6-5)

Tampa Bay is currently in control of the NFC South due to its victory over Carolina in Week 6. Same goes for Chicago in the North, because of a win over Minnesota in Week 7. Washington is in front of the pack for the final Wild Card on conference record -- Redskins are 6-3 vs. the NFC, compared to 5-3 for the Falcons and 5-4 for Dallas.
