These predictions are obviously going to change as the season goes on, but that's the point! Through two games, a lot of major storylines have developed across the league, as there have been a rather alarming number of quarterbacks who have suffered injuries.
And while injuries stink and can derail even the best team's season, they are a part of the game, and teams that typically stay the healthiest are the ones left standing.
Let's continue with our weekly series on our updated playoff seeding predictions.
Updated NFL Playoff Predictions as Week 3 approaches
AFC Playoff Predictions
1. Cincinnati Bengals (2-0)
With how well the defense has played, and how good the offense can be, this Cincinnati Bengals team might not have a clear weakness right now. They take our No. 1 seed in our updated predictions.
2. Buffalo Bills (2-0)
Buffalo's high-flying offense has been fun to watch, but the defense does need to button up as the season goes on. With how much this team has won in recent years, it would be a shock if they didn't come away with the AFC East title, especially with how shaky New England has looked.
3. Denver Broncos (1-1)
The Denver Broncos got back on track in Week 2 after a blowout loss in Week 1. The Broncos are significantly more talented than the three other AFC West squads, as it may only be a matter of time before we see this division pan out the way it did last year.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1)
Jacksonville is as well-coached as any team in the league, as they've gone 9-1 across their last 10 regular season games. The Jaguars should be able to race through the AFC South and win the division for the second year in a row.
5. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0)
The Kansas City Chiefs might be back, but they're over-using Kenneth Walker III, don't have a go-to wide receiver, and also don't have much to speak of with a pass rush. This team is going to falter at some point, but they could still win enough to get into the playoffs.
6. Baltimore Ravens (1-1)
The Baltimore Ravens simply have to not deal with a metric-ton of injuries this year, which was the case last year. At 1-1, the Ravens are obviously still in it and have one of the more talented groups in the league.
7. Houston Texans (0-2)
Houston started 0-3 last year and still managed to finish the season 12-5. They'll be fine and figure this thing out in the coming weeks.
