The Eagles sit atop the NFC East as they have all season and are playing this last week for home field through the playoffs. There is a shot the East could send three teams to the playoffs. The Giants have the toughest road since they have to travel to San Francisco for their final game.
In the NFC Central it is down to two teams, the Packers and the Vikings, and they play this week. The Vikings beat the Packers in their first game 10-6, so if they can go into Green Bay and win the game, they win the Division.
The NFC West is also looking to send three teams to the playoffs. The 49ers are in and get a first week bye. The Rams and the Saints though still need to win games. If the Rams lose and the Saints, Giants, and Cowboys all win, the Rams may be in trouble.
In the AFC It's all about the final playoff spot. There is a chance the AFC East could send four teams to the playoffs. The Jets, the Dolphins, and the Patriots are all in and all playing this last week to determine the Division champ. The Colts are for the last wild card spot as are the Bills.
The Colts and Bills are competing against the Chiefs, the Seahawks, the Raiders, and the Browns for the last spot. The Browns have rallied late in the season to give themselves a shot but will have to beat Division champs Houston and everyone of these other teams will have to lose if they hope to get in.
In the AFC West the Chargers will be playing for home field through the playoffs, and everyone but Denver will be playing for the final playoff spot. Buffalo and Baltimore are the only two teams playing each other for the final spot, so it could be interesting to see how this works out.

Games to Watch
Oakland 7-8 at New Orleans 9-6
This is a must win game for both teams. If the Raiders win they are in, the Saints still need the Giants to lose to get in.
New York Giants 9-6 at San Francisco 12-3
This is a must win for the Giants, while the 49ers are playing for home field throughout. This should be a high scoring affair.
Minnesota 7-8 at Green Bay 8-7
The winner of this game takes the NFC Central.
Miami 9-6 at New York Jets 10-5
The winner of this game takes the AFC East.
Baltimore 7-8 at Buffalo 6-9
For Buffalo to make the playoffs it would take a miracle, but miracles to happen. The Colts are second in line to the Raiders so all they need is a win and a Raiders loss to get into the playoffs.
San Diego 10-5 at Seattle 7-8
Quite a few teams have to lose for the Seahawks to make the playoffs, but they have to win. The Chargers are playing for home field throughout.
