Week 18 of the regular season with 5 teams still await there spot in the playoffs with 9 already set in stone. Every game this week is a division game. There are no TNF and MNF games but 2 games Saturday. 

The first Saturday game is between the Steelers and Ravens in Baltimore. The Ravens already clinched the 1 seed last week. The Steelers can clinch the playoffs by 

Steelers win and a Colts-Texans tie 

Steelers win and Buffalo loss 

Steelers win and a Jaguars loss/tie

Steelers tie and Colts and Texans do not tie and Jaguars lose 

(Even with a Steelers loss) Colts and Texans do not tie, Jaguars lose and Broncos win.

The night Saturday night game is between the Texans and Colts both 9-7. Houston clinches the AFC South title with a win plus a Jaguars loss. The Colts clinch a playoff spot with a win OR a Colts tie plus Steelers loss or tie.

Onto the Sunday games:

The Eagles play the Giants. The Giants are out of the playoffs but the Eagles could win the division with a win plus a Cowboys loss.

Tampa goes to Carolina with another chance to lock up the NFC South division. A Bucs win OR Bucs tie plus Saints loss or tie gives them the division. Tampa also clinches the playoffs with a tie plus a Seahawks loss plus a Packers loss or tie.

Battle of Ohio between the Browns and Bengals from Cincy. Cleveland has already clinched a playoff spot as the Bengals are officially eliminated.

Vikings play the Lions in Detroit. The Lions have the NFC North title. The Vikings can clinch a playoff spot with a win plus a Packers loss plus a Seahawks loss plus a Bucs loss OR a Vikings win plus a Packers loss plus a Seahawks loss plus a Saints loss.

A game with nothing to play for the Jets go to New England to play the Patriots with maybe Belichick last game coaching in NE.

Another big game in the NFC South between the Falcons and Saints. Atlanta clinches he NFC South with a win plus a Bucs loss. The Saints clinch the NFC South with a win plus a Bucs loss or tie OR Saints tie plus Bucs loss. They can also clinch the playoffs by getting a win plus a Seahawks loss or tie plus Packers loss or tie OR Saints tie plus Seahawks loss plus Packers loss.

The Jags have a meaningful game as they are own the road in Tennessee. The Jags clinch the AFC South with a win OR a Jags tie plus a IND-Hou tie. They can also clinch the playoffs by getting a tie plus a Steelers loss or tie OR a Steelers loss plus a Broncos loss or tie plus a Hot-IND doesn't end in tie.

Seattle heads to Arizona to play the Cards who just came off upsetting the Eagles. Seattle clinches a playoff spot with a Win plus a Packers loss or tie OR Seahawks tie plus Packers loss plus Bucs loss or tie OR Seahawks tie plus Packers loss plus Saints loss or tie.

Chicago who is out of the playoff picture travel to Green Bay to play the Packers who have 5 different scenarios to clinch a playoff spot. A simple win gets the Packers in OR a Packers tie plus Seattle loss or tie plus Saints loss or tie OR GB tie plus Seahawks loss plus Bucs loss OR GB tie plus Seahawks tie plus Bucs loss or tie OR Vikings loss or tie plus Seahawks loss plus Bucs loss OR Vikings loss or tie plus Seahawks loss plus Saints loss. So, just win Packers.

The AFC West division goes to KC after their win last week. They will be resting Mahomes this week on the road against the Chargers.

The 8-8 Broncos and 7-9 Raiders battle it out with nothing to play for playoff wise.

On top and rested, the 1 seed in the NFC 49ers should rest mostly all their starters with home field and first round bye locked up. They play the Rams at home who also clinched a playoff spot.

Dallas plays the Commanders on the road. A win gets the Cowboys the division OR a Cowboys tie plus a Eagles tie OR a Eagles loss.

Maybe the biggest game of the day in the AFC between the Bills and Dolphins on Sunday night football. The Bills win the division with a win. They also clinch a playoff spot with a tie OR Steelers loss or tie OR Jags loss or tie OR You-IND tie. The Dolphins clinch the AFC East with a win or tie.

The 17th game has never felt as superfluous as this year.

That's quite a word salad, OP! 😎

The Saturday night game should be fun. Hmmmm not sure whom I am rooting for though.

The Redzone might WILD tomorrow!! 

I'm sad though, because this is the last one until September. The NFL season seems to go by so fast. Ugh.

I just saw the last 4th down play. Taylor was on the sideline and the 3rd or 4th string RB (depending if Sermon is 3rd string) dropped a catchable ball.

Wish the Pats game wasn't fixed in the Sunday Ticket YouTube Multiview

Dang, the Jags and Dougie P collapsed. Were 8-3 at one point during the season and finished up at 9-8.

Sounds like an NFL Team in Philly??? :whistle:

Welp, onto TB for the Wildcard game for our wounded Iggles.

Damn, Rams won, so they go to Detroit and not Dallas. I think they would have beaten Dallas.

The NFL is so weird. A QB can late slide right into a player and get a 15 yard penalty.

That dude on Miami just went helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver right after he made the catch and nothing.

They show the replay and the announcers pretend they don't see it.

The Chiefs haven't blown any good teams out all year, but they might blow the Phins out.  Knocked the F out by Ravens, then blow it at home against arch rivals.  Everybody said they were soft and they proved the doubters right.  I got KC 27-10.

Yeah can't see the Phins winning and can't see it being close. Phins have struggled mightily against most teams with a winning record and whilst Kansas are not particularly great they get it done at home here.

He is a really good player that was never used right in Philly. He showed flashes with his ability to make plays on the ball and he has made some game altering interceptions for both the Packers and now the Bills.
