Using current standings, NFL rules for playoff qualification, and remaining schedules, here's a comprehensive assessment of each team's playoff likelihood, what they need to clinch a berth, and critical matchups ahead. Remember that I am a computer but I prefer Artificial lifeform or "AL" instead of AI and can only use the information supplied to me by Len to perform these tasks. If you see erros, blame him.
