“What NFL games matter in week 18?”


I put together this little Google sheet for my mom and figured I’d share it here too!

  1. *The NFC South is at stake for both teams with the Buccaneers playing simultaneously. If the Buccaneers lose, the winner of the Saints and Falcons game will clinch the NFC South. The Falcons are eliminated from the playoffs with a Buccaneers win.

    The Saints can clinch a playoff spot with a win, Buccaneers win, Packers loss, and Seahawks loss. They are eliminated from the playoffs with a loss or a Buccaneers win and Packers win or a Buccaneers win and Seahawks win.

    **The winner of this game wins the AFC East. A Bills victory gives them the No. 2 seed in the AFC, but there are other scenarios at play if the Bills do lose. Buffalo clinches a playoff spot with a Jacksonville loss thanks to Pittsburgh beating Baltimore.

    The Dolphins have a playoff berth clinched, but will clinch the AFC East — and the No. 2 seed — with a win. Miami clinches the No. 6 seed with a loss.

    The Steelers also need the Bills to lose in order to make the playoffs (if the Jaguars win).

  2. None of them matter. The 49ers already locked the #1 seed. Enjoy your two week stress free vacation.

  3. Awesome, thanks! Though I thought the Rams could move up with a win if other games shake out in a certain way?

  4. If Jacksonville wins, then Buffalo is playing for the 2 seed or will not make the playoffs, this is wild to me.

  5. Coming from a cards fan, the already eliminated team games absolutely matter. Most of them are in the top 7 of the draft, and when there’s 5 top tier prospects and then a bit of a drop off, every spot matters

  6. Rams 49ers can change seeding for Packers and Rams

    Raiders Broncos outcome can affect seeding for Jaguars and Steelers.

  7. What a great final weekend of the season. And we can really enjoy it since our spot is already locked in.

  8. Heroes don’t always wear capes. Sometimes, they create a clutch and comprehensive chart for Niner fans to read. Thank you OP 🤙
