The NFC playoff and wild card picture is starting to take shape as Week 11 in the NFL winds down.

More from Arizona Cardinals

Week 11 of the NFL season has almost come to an end, and we’re getting a clearer picture of the playoff scene. The NFC race is particularly interesting and tight. As of right now, the Arizona Cardinals and the Detroit Lions would be the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds respectively.

The Cardinals have the best record in the NFL, so them sitting in first is obvious. The Lions get the second seed for a couple of reasons. They’d get the nod as the NFC North Champion with a better head-to-head win percentage over Green Bay. They get the second seed by having a better conference record than Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Eagles get the NFC East championship over the Dallas Cowboys thanks to a better win percentage in the division.

The Atlanta Falcons, at 4-6, would get the fourth seed as the NFC South champions, getting the nod over New Orleans on head-to-head win percentage.

The Green Bay Packers and Cowboys are the only two teams to not lead a division with 7-3 records making them an obvious and clear choice for the two wild card spots. Green Bay would get the fifth seed over Dallas because of a better win percentage in conference games though.

The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are both hanging behind just outside the top-six with 6-4 records.
