Didn't New Orleans already clinch a playoff spot?? I think this should state that New Orleans wins the Division with a win and an Atlanta loss.

NEW ORLEANS (Clinches the NFC South and homefield advantage with (1) Win and Atlanta loss).

Thanks Dex17

Great stuff. Things are pretty much set, barring a spoiler team pulling an upset. Rams/Seahawks might be a good play-in game.

Lets get the playoffs started already!

Lets get the playoffs started already!

Dude. Rams @ Seahawks IS a playoff game. The winner advances, the loser is done. The perfect NFL regular season finale!

For those of us complaining about the NFC West this year, this extra play-in game is a nice consolation.

I was looking at the possible seeding in the AFC:

#1: Pats are locked into the #1 seed in the AFC.
#2: Steelers if they win, otherwise the Ravens if they win & Steelers lose.
#3: Chiefs if they win, otherwise the Colts if they win & Chiefs lose.
#4: Colts if they win they win, otherwise Jags if Colts lose & Jags win. (Also Chiefs if they lose & Colts win scenario above.)
#5: Ravens are most likely, but it could be Steelers if they lose with Ravens win. Jets if Ravens OR Steelers lose & Jets win.
#6: Jets. (Unless the Ravens OR Steelers lose and Jets win scenario above.)

I've ignored ties, here, because they are so darn unlikely it's not really worth mentioning IMHO.
