1 Seattle Seahawks (13-3; clinched playoff berth)<\/p>\n
2. Chicago Bears (11-5; clinched NFC North)<\/p>\n
3. Philadelphia Eagles (11-5; clinched NFC East)<\/p>\n
4. Carolina Panthers (8-8)<\/p>\n
The Seattle Seahawks must beat the San Francisco 49ers to confirm themselves as the NFC West champion and the No. 1 seed in the NFC. <\/p>\n
Seattle and San Francisco are the only teams who can secure home-field advantage in the NFC.<\/p>\n
The Chicago Bears need to beat the Detroit Lions to secure the No. 2 seed. A Chicago loss combined with a Philadelphia Eagles win puts the Eagles at the No. 2 seed. <\/p>\n
Carolina needs to win to get in against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday.<\/p>\n
5. San Francisco 49ers (12-4)<\/p>\n
6. Los Angeles Rams (11-5)<\/p>\n
7. Green Bay Packers (9-6-1)<\/p>\n
San Francisco is still alive for the NFC West title. It needs to beat Seattle at home on Saturday night to be the top seed and earn home-field advantage. <\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Rams is currently the NFC’s No. 6 seed. They play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18. The Rams need a Week 18 win and a Seattle victory over San Francisco to move up to the No. 5 seed. <\/p>\n
The Green Bay Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed. <\/p>\n
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9)<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay must beat the Panthers and also have the New Orleans Saints beat the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18. <\/p>\n
There’s a scenario in which the Panthers, Bucs and Falcons all finish at 8-9, which would then give the Panthers the NFC South crown on a tiebreaker.<\/p>\n
8. Minnesota Vikings (8-8)<\/p>\n
10. Dallas Cowboys (7-8-1)<\/p>\n
12. Atlanta Falcons (7-9)<\/p>\n
13. New Orleans Saints (6-10)<\/p>\n
14. Washington Commanders (4-12)<\/p>\n
15. Arizona Cardinals (3-13)<\/p>\n
16. New York Giants (3-13)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1 Seattle Seahawks (13-3; clinched playoff berth) 2. Chicago Bears (11-5; clinched NFC North) 3.
