NFL Week 18 playoff scenarios: With NFC West title settled, what’s next?

The New York Timesgeneral

Key Points:

  • With one day remaining in the NFL regular season, 12 of the 14 postseason seeds remain undecided, including all AFC seeds and most NFC seeds except the NFC No. 1 seed, secured by the Seattle Seahawks.
  • In the AFC, the No. 1 seed and first-round bye is still up for grabs among the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, and Jacksonville Jaguars, with the Jaguars having the widest possible seeding range from No. 1 to No. 7.
  • The AFC North division title and No. 4 seed will be decided in a key matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, while the AFC South champion will be determined by Jacksonville and Houston's results, with Tennessee's odds slim.
