After mi sing out on the postseason in last week’s projection, the Steelers are now being projected as the final wild-card team in the AFC. Minnesota also made a move this week: For the first time all year, the are being projected to win the NFC North, which means they could potentially be hosting a playoff game in January.Another team that should be thankful this Evan Longoria Jersey week is the , who are still projected to win the NFC East despite their lo s to New England on Sunday. Of course, that’s only three teams, to find out where the other 29 teams fit into all of this, let’s get to the Week 13 playoff projections.As always, these projections will be based on data from . Each week, Oh plugs some numbers into his SportsLine computer, and that computer simulates the rest of the season. Using those numbers, we’re going to let you know the playoff chances for all 32 teams, and how the computer sees the 12-team playoff field shaking out.If you feel like your team probably isn’t going to make the playoffs this year — I’m looking at you , , , and fans — here’s . I feel like you’ll enjoy that more. Alright, let’s get to the 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, looks like as we head into Week 13.1. (AFC East champion) Although the still haven’t been able to figure out how to solve their offensive problems, the computer still views them as a lock for the top seed in the AFC. According to SportsLine’s projections, the season will likely end with the Patriots finishing 14-2 and the finishing 13-3, which means the Patriots don’t have much Jose Alvarado Jersey room for error, and that’s because if the two teams end up with identical records, the Ravens would win any tiebreakers due to their head-to-head victory over New England in Week 9.2. (AFC North champion) The computer was absolutely astonished by what the Ravens did to the on Monday night. Although Baltimore is still projected to finish as the second seed in the AFC, the computer did bump them up in a much more important category: The Ravens are now being given the best chance to win the Super Bowl out of any team in the NFL. According to SportsLine, the Ravens have a 27.1% chance of winning the Lombardi Trophy, which puts them ahead of the Patriots, who have a 22.89% chance of winning it all. No other team in the NFL is being given more than a 17% chance.3. (AFC West champion) The didn’t even play in Week 12 and somehow, they still came out as one of the biggest winners of the week in the NFL. The reason it was a good week for the Chiefs — their main competition in the AFC West (The ) fell flat on their face in a lo s to the . Due to that lo s, the Chiefs now have a 92.8% chance of winning the division, which will go up to nearly 99.9% if Kansas City beats Oakland on Sunday. 4. (AFC South champion) According to the computer, the AFC South is the only division in the AFC that’s still up for grabs. With five weeks left in the season, the computer is giving the a 53.6% chance of winning the division, which is almost double the number being given to the , who have a 27.1% chance of winning the division. Of course, let’s not forget about the Ryan Yarbrough Jersey , who are being given a 19.2% chance of winning the division. Although the Texans won in Week 12, their chances of winning the division actually went down from 60% to 54%, because of how impre sed the computer was with the Titans. The Titans and Texans still play each other twice, which means Tenne see controls its own fate. If the Titans win out, they’ll take home the AFC South crown. 5. (Wild Card 1) With the now holding a two-game lead over any team that could potentially knock them out of a wild-card spot, the computer is inching closer and closer to chalking up Buffalo as a lock for the postseason. As things currently stand, the Bills have an 83.1% chance of making the playoffs, which is nearly 45% higher than any other wild-card contender. 6. (Wild Card 2) Although the Steelers are in this spot right now, the can steal it from them with a win in Pittsburgh on Sunday. The computer basically views Browns-Steelers this week as an elimination game for both teams. The Steelers currently have a 38.5% chance of making the playoffs, a number that will shoot up to 54% if they win. However, if they lose to Cleveland, the Steelers’ playoff chances will tumble down to 16%. As for the Browns, their chances will jump up from 17.7% to 31% with a win, but if they lose, their playoff chances will drop to 4%, which is the computer’s way of saying they’ll have no shot at the playoffs if they don’t win on Sunday. The Colts-Titans game is also big, but the computer doesn’t think a lo s will kill either team’s playoff chances since both could potentially still win the AFC South.Just mi sed:Colts (36.7% chance of getting into the playoffs), Titans (30.9%), Browns (17.7%), Raiders (17.1%) Here’s a list of all the other AFC teams (their percentage chances of getting into the playoffs is listed next to them in parentheses): (1.3%), (1.0%), Jets (0.2%), (0.0%), Dolphins (0.0%), Bengals (0.0%).NOTE:Although there are three Kevin Kiermaier Jersey AFC teams with a zero percent chance of making the playoffs, that doesn’t mean those teams have been eliminated from playoff contention, it just means that the computer thinks their playoff chances are mathematically dead. The Bengals are the only team that’s been officially eliminated so far.1. (NFC West champion) The handed the such a vicious beatdown that the computer has now decided to jump on their bandwagon. Thanks to the dominating win, not only are the 49ers once again projected to get the top seed in the NFC, but their chances of winning the Super Bowl shot up from 9.7% to 13.86%. As much as the computer likes the 49ers, it’s Anthony Banda Jersey still giving the the best chance of winning the Super Bowl out of the NFC (16.26% chance). 2. (NFC South champion) The Saints are the only team in the NFL this week that can clinch a playoff spot without getting any help from any other team. If New Orleans can knock off the Falcons in Atlanta on Thanksgiving night, that will officially clinch the NFC South crown for the Saints. Of course, the computer knew this day was coming a long time ago, as it projected the Saints to win the title back in our first projection of the 2019 season. 3. (NFC North champion) The Vikings bye week couldn’t have gone any better for them, and that’s because they got to sit at home and watch one of their division rivals get pounded. The Packers’ lo s was so bad the computer is now convinced that the Vikings are going to win the division. According to SportsLine, the Viki…
