NFC Playoff Picture2 of 3<\/p>\n
1. x-Seattle Seahawks (12-3, NFC West)<\/p>\n
2. x-Chicago Bears (11-4, NFC North)<\/p>\n
3. z-Philadelphia Eagles (10-5, NFC East)<\/p>\n
4. Carolina Panthers (8-7, NFC South)<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Eagles remain the only team that has clinched a division to this point. The Seattle Seahawks can join Philly as a division champ with a win over the Carolina Panthers and losses by the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. <\/p>\n
The Panthers, meanwhile, can clinch the NFC South with a win and a loss by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chicago Bears can clinch the NFC North with a win over the 49ers or a loss by the Green Bay Packers. <\/p>\n
The Eagles, Seahawks, and Bears are all playoff-bound, while the Panthers are +125 to make the playoffs. <\/p>\n
5. x-San Francisco 49ers (10-4)<\/p>\n
6. x-Los Angeles Rams (11-4)<\/p>\n
7. x-Green Bay Packers (9-5-1)<\/p>\n
The 48ers and Rams had already claimed playoff berths before the start of Week 17, and both remain in the NFC West hunt. In fact, both have paths to claiming the NFC’s top seed, too. <\/p>\n
Los Angeles would need to win its final two games while getting one loss each from the Bears, Seahawks and 49ers. San Francisco’s path is a lot more straightforward sine it plays Seattle in Week 18. If the 49ers win out, they’ll claim the NFC’s top seed. <\/p>\n
The Packers clinched a playoff berth with Detroit’s loss on Sunday. <\/p>\n
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-8)<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers, who are now -150 to make the postseason, cannot make the playoffs as a wild-card team. If the Panthers win in Week 17, the Bucs will have to beat the Miami Dolphins this week to stay alive, which would set up a winner-take-all showdown with Carolina in Week 18. <\/p>\n
8. Minnesota Vikings (8-8)<\/p>\n
10. Dallas Cowboys (7-8-1)<\/p>\n
12. Atlanta Falcons (6-9)<\/p>\n
13. New Orleans Saints (5-10)<\/p>\n
14. Washington Commanders (4-12)<\/p>\n
15. Arizona Cardinals (3-12)<\/p>\n
16. New York Giants (2-13)<\/p>\n
