The NFL playoffs are quickly approaching, and there are already five teams that have clinched a spot in those playoffs: the Detroit Lions, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos.
Four teams can join them and clinch a playoff berth in Week 16, which makes this an even more intriguing week of NFL action. The Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, and Seattle Seahawks will all clinch with wins and join the postseason party.
Five playoff berths have already been clinched. Now the Steelers, Cowboys, Seahawks, Packers can join that group with a win today.

Needless to say, this a big week for many teams that need to take advantage of their ability to clinch this week and avoid a show down with it all on the line in the final week of the season. The Packers especially are a team in a fairly tough spot, as they will have to face the Lions in Week 17 if they lose. Winning today is imperative for these teams so that the pressure is not completely on their shoulders in a must win game during the last week of the season.
Expect to see a lot of dram today in Week 16 action with playoff spots on the line, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a team or two come up short and fold under the pressure.
