And while the current NFL playoff picture is pretty clear in AFC (six of the seven teams have clinched spots) and the NFC (two spots are available), that means there are still squads that are very much alive heading into the penultimate week of regular-season action.

The NFL playoff picture is about to be complete. Check back throughout Week 18 for updates on AFC and NFC scenarios, as well as wild-card matchups.

The winner will lock down the NFC North title, as well as the top seed in the NFC. Here are the other playoff-clinching scenarios going into Week 18.

The Detroit Lions have yet to finalize their playoff seed entering Week 18, but that will finally be determined after their Sunday night matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, with the winner taking home the No.

The Miami Dolphins’ path to the postseason has become awfully simple. After a 20-3 win against the Cleveland Browns, the Dolphins are 8-8 and just a game behind the 9-7 Denver Broncos for the final playoff spot in the AFC. Thanks to a superior record against AFC teams, the Dolphins would win a tiebreaker if both teams finished 9-8.

The Falcons controlled their playoff destiny before a loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 17. Atlanta has a 13% chance to make the NFL playoffs compared to the Buccaneers' 87% odds, per The Athletic's computer model.
