AFC Playoff Picture
The AFC playoff picture is starting to come into focus. The Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans have clinched the top two seeds in the conference and a first-round bye. The New England Patriots have also clinched a playoff spot. Today’s games will determine the other four teams that will make the playoffs.
Who are the teams?
In the AFC, the New England Patriots have clinched the top seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in as the second seed, while the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs have locked down the third and fourth seeds, respectively.
The Tennessee Titans clinched a playoff berth on Monday night with their win over the Indianapolis Colts, but they will be playing in the Wild Card round as the fifth seed. They will take on the AFC West champion Los Angeles Chargers, who finished as the fourth seed despite having a worse record than both the Titans and Ravens.
The Baltimore Ravens clinched a playoff berth on Sunday with their win over the Cleveland Browns, but they will also be playing in the Wild Card round as the sixth seed. They will take on the AFC South champion Houston Texans, who finished as the third seed despite having a worse record than both the Ravens and Titans.
Who has the bye week?
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers have earned first-round byes as the AFC’s No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, respectively. The New Orleans Saints are the NFC’s top seed, while the Seattle Seahawks will be the conference’s No. 2 seed.
Who is playing who?
The AFC playoff picture is looking pretty clear heading into the final week of the regular season. The New England Patriots have already clinched the top seed in the conference, and the Pittsburgh Steelers have locked up the second seed. That leaves the Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers fighting for the final two spots.
The Jaguars need a win or a Chiefs loss to clinch the third seed. If they lose and the Chiefs win, then Kansas City will be the third seed and Jacksonville will be the fourth seed. The Jaguars will be playing the Houston Texans in Week 17.
The Chiefs need a win or a Chargers loss to clinch the fourth seed. If they lose and the Chargers win, then Los Angeles will be the fourth seed and Kansas City will be out of the playoffs. The Chiefs will be playing the Oakland Raiders in Week 17.
The Chargers need a win and some help to make the playoffs. They need to root for both the Jaguars and Chiefs to lose in Week 17 while also defeating the Denver Broncos themselves. If all of that happens, then Los Angeles will be heading to playoffs as either the third or fourth seed depending on tiebreakers. The Chargers will be playing at Denver in Week 17.
NFC Playoff Picture
The NFL playoffs are underway and today we have two games in the NFC. First, the Green Bay Packers are taking on the Arizona Cardinals. Then, the Seattle Seahawks are playing the Carolina Panthers. These are both great match-ups and should be exciting games.
Who are the teams?
The NFC playoff picture is still very much up in the air heading into the final week of the season. There are a number of teams that still have a chance to make the playoffs, and it will all come down to who can win their final games.
The Eagles, Cowboys, and Packers are all currently vying for the top spot in the NFC East. The winner of that division will automatically get a spot in the playoffs. The Cowboys and Packers are both currently sitting at 8-7, while the Eagles are just behind them at 7-8. Whoever wins their final game will secure the division title and a spot in the playoffs.
In the NFC North, the Vikings have already clinched the division title and a spot in the playoffs. They are currently 11-4 and sit atop the division. The Packers are currently in second place at 8-7, but they could still potentially make the playoffs as a wild card team. The Bears are also still in contention for a wild card spot at 7-8.
The Saints have clinched the top spot in the NFC South and a spot in the playoffs. They are currently 11-4 on the season. The Panthers are currently second in the division at 9-6, but they could still potentially make the playoffs as a wild card team.
