New England, Baltimore, Jacksonville and Denver. Those are the first-place teams in the AFC, and we'd like to connect the polygraph machine if you claim these were your preseason division winner picks.
Spoiler alert: this isn't how it ends.
That's because as division matchups ramp up in December, a whole lot of chaos is coming down the chimney before the month ends.
Only four teams -- New England (3-0), the LA Chargers (4-0), Tampa Bay (2-0) and Green Bay (3-0) -- are undefeated in their own division.
The Colts have lost three of four and dropped into second place in the AFC South on Sunday. The Texans (4-1 in the division) are 7-5 overall and just a game back of first-place Jacksonville (8-4). The Colts (8-4) play the Jaguars this week and end the regular season at Houston.
