The 2018 NFL playoff picture is shaping up and six key games in Week 15 will further define who makes the postseason. We preview the most important matchups of the week and provide a prediction for each.

We’re nearing the end of the 2018 NFL regular season, which can be anticipated with positivity or the opposite by both fans and teams alike. Earning a playoff slot or locking in home-field can be the launching point for a Super Bowl run or long-term success. Meanwhile, teams that fall out of the playoff picture could be on the verge of change.

The NFL schedule expands to include Saturday night games in the final three weeks, so you’ll be set for a full four nights of action the rest of the way. Week 15’s Thursday Night Football matchup with the Chiefs and Chargers was a great start to this week’s loaded slate and more exciting games are to be expected.

We’re going to break down the key factors in each game before offering a prediction on the final result of six critical showdowns. If things go the right way for certain teams, it could be an uneventful finish in the last two weeks for the vast majority of teams.
