With 6 weeks left, its time to start looking towards the playoffs. I have divided all the NFL teams into 4 categories - Locks (going to the playoffs for sure/almost for sure/barring a Tom Brady injury), Contenders (currently leading or competing for division or wild card), On the Brink (one loss away from elimination), and Out (eliminated either statistically or emotionally). I actually used the ESPN Playoff Machine to pick every remaining NFL matchup and the final records I came up with (listed below) are an entirely possible scenario. I didn't have time for analysis, but I will do that later this week. I just wanted to make sure I got this posted before Week 12 starts.

Contenders - DEN, OAK, CIN, TEN, NYJ
