There are some changes in the projected playoff picture. See the full list of projections here. And new, see a summary of the projected playoff teams by week.
In the AFC there are 5 teams projected to finish 11-5 and there just aren't enough spots for all of them. Three of the teams are from the AFC North but with Buffalo also being projected at 11-5 and a good shot at 12-4, only two of the AFC North teams get in and those are Cincinnati and Pittsburgh with Cincinnati getting the nod for the division based on a better chance at 12-4.
The AFC West is also interesting with San Diego, Denver, and Oakland all projected at 8-8. Oakland gets the nod here based on the best chance of going 9-7 instead.
The NFC is simpler with the only drama in the NFC East where the Eagles tie with Dallas at 9-7 but have the better chance of 10-6 and hold the current tie-breaker with their win.
