The AFC playoffs are right around the corner and the cream is rising to the top as teams start to get eliminated as the weeks go by. 

The NFL Playoffs are going to begin at the end of the month, and while the spots are drying up in the AFC, there are still three playoff tickets yet to be punched.

On Sunday, three teams not only locked up playoff spots but locked up their divisions as well. The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts win the AFC East and AFC South in the early games while the Denver Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers to clinch the AFC West title for a third straight year.

That means only the AFC North an the two Wild Card spots remain open for the gaggle of teams trying to make it to the postseason. It’s looking like the Cincinnati Bengals will win the AFC North, but the Wild Card teams are just as iffy at the moment. Teams like the Chiefs, Chargers, Steelers and Ravens are all close with the Bills getting a much needed win over the Packers to stay alive.

Here’s a look at the AFC Playoff Picture and what things would look like if the playoffs began today.
