The ultra-competitive '13 playoff hunt

All year we've been witnessing intensely competitive football -- I've lost track of the number of games decided by a touchdown or less. The result of this kind of football has given us one of the more interesting pre-postseason races in quite some time. Right now, as we enter Week 13 of the regular season, the playoff picture is as follows (seeds one through six in order and italics indicate first round bye):

AFC: Broncos, Patriots, Colts, Bengals, Chiefs, and Titans. IN THE HUNT: Jets, Steelers, Ravens, Dolphins.

NFC: Seahawks, Saints, Lions, Cowboys, Panthers, and 49ers. IN THE HUNT: Eagles, Bears, Cardinals, Packers.
