13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10)

In a game that was seemingly dominated by the Cowboys, the Bucs game themselves a chance to win. It didn’t happen this time, but they control their own destiny to get into the playoffs.

14. Baltimore Ravens (16)

The Ravens got away with one this past weekend. Despite that, they kept pace in the wildcard race. Sunday’s Christmas Day showdown with the Steelers will likely determine the fate of the Ravens.

15. Denver Broncos (13)

If the wheels haven’t come off yet for the defending champs, they are really really loose. After the most recent loss, the offense and defense got into a heated exchange after the game. The Broncos playoff hopes are fading but not dead. What is necessary now is for them to win the next two games, and hope for some good fortune.

16. Houston Texans (21)

The Brock experiment failed in a miserable way. Tom Savage is up and probably proves to be a better option if the Texans would like to hold onto this ever-so-slight division lead.
