Playoff possibilities
AFC
New England clinched home field advantage through the AFC
Denver The Broncos need to beat Oakland on Sunday to ensure they get a playoff bye. If the Broncos lose to the Raiders, they could fall to the No. 3 seed if Cincinnati wins the AFC North.
AFC North winner: The Bengals could fall anywhere from the No. 2 to the No. 5 seed. But unless the Raiders pull off a huge upset in Denver, the winner of the AFC North will be the conference's No. 3 seed. The Steelers and Bengals
both know they are in the playoffs, but there is a huge difference
between hosting a banged-up wild card squad and going on the road to
face
Indianapolis Colts: Barring ties, the Colts' season finale against Tennessee is meaningless. They will host the loser of the Steelers-Bengals game, and the Colts are probably rooting for Cincinnati to come to town. Indianapolis gave up 51 points to Pittsburgh on the road, while they shut out the Bengals at Lucas Oil Stadium in their earlier meeting.
AFC North runner up: This can't be the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals
should desperately want to win the division because otherwise they
could be headed out on the road for a second straight week, potentially
on a quick turnaround for a Saturday game.
Final wild card spot: The Chargers
are first in line because of their ridiculous comeback in San
Francisco. Baltimore also still has a strong chance to make the
playoffs. San Diego needs to win a tough matchup at Kansas City to
clinch. If not, all the Ravens have to do is beat a banged-up Browns team to get into the playoffs. Cleveland could be starting Connor Shaw at quarterback in the game. Then again, we assumed Baltimore would beat Case Keenum last week.
Real longshots The teams alive below Baltimore are much longer shots to squeeze in. The Texans need to beat Jacksonville, and watch the Ravens and Chargers lose. The Chiefs are last in line, needing the Ravens and Texans to both lose significant upsets. We'll know the AFC Wild Card by the end of the 1 p.m. ET games
NFC
Seattle if they win they are the 1 seed  lose and they are the 3 seed if Arizona loses and Dallas wins 5 seed if they lose and Detroit & Arizona wins, not so sure if Green Bay wins in that scenario
NFC North winner: Barring a tie, the winner of Packers-Lions will get a playoff bye
Dallas Cowboys: A first-round bye remains possible, but the Cowboys need a tie or they need the Rams to win in Seattle
NFC South winner: Winner the Falcons or Panthers game Who could be favored because their most likely opponent will be
Arizona Cardinals: The 5 seed unless Seattle loses to the Rams
NFC North runner up: As mentioned above, the winner of the NFC
North could be as high as the No. 1 seed. The loser is likely falling
down all the way to the final spot, and a matchup in Dallas is quite
possible.

Be thankful I didn't do that in the week 15 thread. It would have been close to War & Peace in how long it took to read

I meant we got the 1st post readable

Hoping I'm wrong about the Bengals and Lions

I have to wait a while for the next meaningful Pats game so I'm glad there's some good "big" games this last week

yeah you have an even longer wait lol

zBookie??

Indianapolis vs Tennessee.....are you effing kidding me. Get every KC game but 2, and this one at least has more meaning, than Colts/Titans.......looks like i'll have to stream. As for the late Fox game, we always get the Rams.(look at the map, and the green shaded area in TN, is my backyard)

What are the chances that the Packers and Lions game ends in a tie? If they tie, Seattle loses homefield advantage. If they tie, you'd almost have to think it was deliberate.

If the game ends in a tie the Packers are the 5 seed at best probably the 6 Why would they do that on purpose. Are you one of those 'Conspiracy Theory Buffs' ?!?

Are you a stalker?

First playoff game: Carolina @ Atlanta, lol.

Josh Gordon suspended for today's game by the Browns

They may lose, but last year, went into SD, and if not for a No-call, on an illegal defensive formation, would have won, playing 2nd stringers.. Sandy Eggo still sucks, and I'd much rather watch this game, than one with no meaning.
