Sports Seriously
Who is in position to make the NFL playoffs entering the NFL Week 12 schedule?
What would NFL postseason matchups be right now?
See the updated NFL playoff picture and NFL postseason standings after NFL Week 11 (with the Dallas Cowboys still set to play the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football). There were some big changes from the NFL playoff picture last week (last week’s rank in parentheses).
No teams have clinched berths in the postseason, and no teams have been eliminated from postseason contention, so every NFL team technically still has a chance to make the postseason, although those chances are very different entering NFL Week 12 games.
There are eight NFL divisions, four in the NFC and four in the AFC, with each division winner earning a playoff berth in each conference, along with the three non-division winners with the best records in that conference earning wild-card bids into the postseason. The top seeds in each conference get a bye into the second round.
