The NFL season is winding down, but the playoff race is white hot after a shape shifting Week 15 that has melted the face of the playoff hunt, meaning we will no doubt have a thrilling finish to the season. We haven’t yet had the race whittled down to the necessary amount of teams, but the field has shrunk considerably. There are only two available spots left in the AFC while only three teams in the NFC have punched their tickets.
We still have two more games left in the season, and the race is in no way over, so let’s take a look at what the race looks like as we enter the home stretch of the season.
Note: These are projections for if the season ended today — which it doesn’t, so keep that in mind.
