The Paydirt Report: Week 13Playoff spots are starting to fill up as teams begin punching their tickets to the dance. Miami, Houston, Seattle and Tampa Bay have all punched theirs. 14 teams have punched their e tickets.
An unidentified source in Indianapolis has leaked that GM DJSim22 is on the hot seat. They also state that they currently have not had contact with any other potential GM's and if they dont find the right fit they will offer DJ an extension. We are getting the same message from from Chicago and Minnesota. In Philadelphia our sources are say that if John97334 wins 2 out of the remaining 3 games, he will get an extension. Now lets take a look at week 13.
AFCWest
This division race just keeps getting hotter and hotter. San Diego(10-3) leads the way as they win their 3rd straight. Denver(9-4) wins to stay hot on their trail. With Kansas City's(8-5) tough loss to Houston they drop into Wild Card mode with Oakland(8-5) who is on a late season roll. Oakland plays Kansas City and San Diego their next two games. After Oakland, KC has the easier schedule of the four teams. Denver prolly has the toughest as they'll face San Diego, Jets and Seattle to close out the season. The Chargers have Denver and Oakland on their schedule yet.
East
Miami(11-2) has clinched the East Title for their fifth division banner in the last 6 years. This is their 4th in a row. Congrats to Androwski and that great accomplishment. The NY Jets(9-4) are in the midst of a torrid Wild Card Battle. They will have Buffalo, Denver and Cincinnati in their way. Buffalo(6-7) Has a great opportunity to play spoiler in that game. New England(5-8) is all but playing for pride
North
Cincinnati(8-5) has a two game lead over Cleveland(6-7) but isn't making it easy on themselves with a loss this week. But Cleveland couldn't capitalize. Pittsburgh(5-8) continues to play good football but have already got an e in the mail. Baltimore(1-12) is struggling mightily.
South
Houston(9-4) owns the 1979 AFC South title and is trying to gain some momentum going into the playoffs. Tennessee(5-8) has lost less than Indianapolis(4-8) and Jacksonville(4-8). They're all saying next year. Hopefully next year will come for Indianapolis' DJSim22. The fans in Indy love him but the ownership is not too sure. We'll stay on this story.
NFCEast
Dallas(8-5) is all so close to clinching their 2nd divisional championship in 3 years. But Philadelphia(5-7-1) has postponed the Cowboys celebration another week with a win of their own. Washington(3-10) and NY Giants(1-11-1) can't wait for the 1980 draft class to come out.
West
Seattle(12-1) is cruising but is having some injury issues as of late. This could be a concern this late in the year. A lil something to keep an eye on. Arizona(5-8), San Francisco(4-9) and Los Angeles(4-9) have all had disappointing seasons. But all three teams have spoiler opportunities coming up in the next three games.
North
The race continues between Detroit(10-3) and Green Bay(9-4). The Packers got the break they were looking for when the Lions lost too Seattle in week 13. Detroit finishes the race with games against Miami and Green Bay in week 16. Green Bay has a tough road ahead with games against Miami, Tampa Bay and the Lions. Both Chicago(4-9) and Minnesota(0-13) jobs are in doubt if their ownership can find suitors.
South
Tampa Bay (12-1) has 10 straight wins to their name but still have Carolina(11-2) right on their butts. New Orleans(8-5) has fallen off and are playing for their playoff lives. Atlanta(3-10) might have a lil something to say about the Saints chances as they will face one more time.

Denver @ San Diego
Miami @ Green Bay
Carolina @ Cleveland
