NFL Playoff Scenarios: What Each Team Needs To Get To The Postseason
By Keith Myers
With the playoffs just two weeks away, we break down the NFL playoff scenarios for each team and their road to the postseason.
The NFL playoffs are just two weeks away, but the playoff brackets are far from set. Only four teams have punched their ticket to the postseason. That leaves eight playoff spots, including five division crowns that are still up for grabs.
The number of playoff scenarios remains massive for this late in the season. There are still eleven teams that are vying for spots in just the AFC. The shear volume of possible outcomes is almost overwhelming, but luckily we’re here to break them all down for you.
Due to the huge number of possible permutations to consider, scenarios that require games that end in ties are mostly excluded. Those situations will be discussed in next week’s edition if they remain in play.
To help keep things manageable, each conference is examined as a whole, and then the details for each team are considered division by division to help keep things organized.
