Buffalo Bills:
The Bills have now beaten the Lions and the Chiefs. In watching them, it’s hard to see how they ever lose a game. With two out of their last three games against the Patriots, they could very well be the no.1 seed.
Philadelphia Eagles:

The Eagles, Vikings, and Lions all have two losses. I feel the Eagles are the best of the three at this point. They have the most balanced offense and defense and have way less key injuries than the Lions do.
Detroit Lions:

Week 18 is going to be a great matchup against the Vikings at home. With all the injuries they have, the door has opened for the Vikings to overtake them.
Kansas City Chiefs:

Even though they are ahead by two in the loss column, the Bills could overtake them for the no.1 seed and sole bye in the AFC. Mahomes injury isn’t serious, but it could limit his abilities over the next several weeks.
Minnesota Vikings:

Week 18 is going to be a great matchup against the Lions in Detroit. They could even steal the division away from them.
