I’m not sure what to make of a world where the Cincinnati Bengals are 5-0 and the AFC’s number one seed at the moment.

It’s like 1988 all over again and we’re forced to watch Bengals fullback Ickey Woods bludgeon opposing defenses to perform a dance transported out of the 1940s.

The AFC picture remains unmoved from a week ago. Meanwhile, there is some movement along the NFC side.

Here is a rundown of what the playoffs would look like if they started today.
