NFL Playoff Picture: Patriots Win AFC East, Look Good For Home Field Advantage
Baltimore can match New England’s 11-3 record with a win in San Diego on Sunday night. This week also marks the return of linebacker Ray Lewis, the heart and soul of a tough Ravens defense.
New England has favorable schedule to close out the regular season. They host the Dolphins and the Bills over the next two weeks.
Baltimore has a slightly tougher schedule against their AFC North rivals. They host the Browns next week, but end the regular season with a road game in Cincinnati.
If both teams win out to finish the season, New England would still get the top seed in the playoffs.
