What will the final NFL playoff field look like?

The NFL season is now entering Week 16, and the playoff race is beginning to heat up in a big way. Teams are beginning to make their final runs at the playoffs, and it is finally the time of the season where projections can be made about who will end up making it.

At this point in the season, there are still some very good playoff battles going on especially as far as the wildcards are concerned. Three divisions have been won already, with those winning teams being the Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, and Denver Broncos. Outside of those three teams, everything else is still open with the playoffs just a couple weeks away.

There are quite a few different scenarios that could end up happening, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion on who they think will end up making the playoffs. As with everything in sports, there will be differing opinions and plenty of debating going on with the selections that are made.

All of that being said, which teams will end up making the playoffs and who will they be facing?
