00:00So, at the end of week number 12 of this 2024 NFL regular season, with a Thanksgiving triple
00:10header on the horizon, and here on the early line, we'll look at those early lines in just
00:15a little bit.
00:17You're starting to see that playoff picture in either conference get a little bit more
00:21clear as of this moment entering week 13, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.
00:30Just six more weeks remain in this NFL regular season.
00:35That is the AFC playoff picture.
00:37Let's start with the divisional leaders as of this moment from the standings perspective.
00:42Sure, you can poke a couple of holes in the 10 wins that Kansas City has this year.
00:47That's still the most in the AFC and certainly the most in the AFC West, where Casey is looking
00:53to win the divisional crown for a ninth consecutive campaign.
00:56The Bills, the only team with a winning record in the AFC East at nine and two.
01:02The Steelers as of the moment still have that advantage over the Ravens in the AFC North,
01:08but they are not the divisional favorites.
01:11The Texans, again, some flaws that have been exposed in CJ Stroud's sophomore season, but
01:17still the only team in the AFC South with a winning record and a hefty odds on favorites
01:22in that division as well.
01:24Joe, as you look at the divisional leaders right now, do you think any of those division
01:29races are truly up in the air, perhaps outside of the AFC North?
01:34No, I certainly don't think the AFC East is.
01:37I think it's the Bills by a landslide there.
01:41Is anybody catching the Chiefs in the West?
01:43No.
01:44I think that pretty much what you see there is what you're going to get.
01:48The only race that is to be determined, TBD, is going to be the Steelers and the Ravens
01:54in the AFC North, and which one of those ends up winning the division.
01:58But either way, whoever wins it, the other team is going to be the five-seat, Ben.
02:02I think that's where we're heading in this.
02:05And the big question is, can the Dolphins, with their schedule, which is very favorable
02:11down the stretch, if they can win this game in Green Bay this week, they've got a lot
02:16of very winnable games, can they sneak into that number seven spot and maybe take out
02:23either the Broncos or the Chargers?
02:24And that is really the only big questions that remain right now in the AFC playoff picture.
