No AFC teams will have a chance to clinch a playoff spot in Week 13. The Chiefs would be sitting pretty if they topple the Bengals in Cincinnati, and the Titans would move a step closer to locking up the AFC South if they can find a way past the Eagles in Philadelphia, but neither will exit the week with a postseason berth in hand.

In the NFC, though, two teams have that exact opportunity.

The top-seeded Eagles—the NFL's lone one-loss team—can do it with a win over the Titans and help. More specifically, they need to win their game and have the Commanders, Seahawks and 49ers all lose. That's a decent amount of assistance, but Washington and Seattle both have road games against division rivals, and San Francisco hosts a red-hot Miami team, so it's certainly possible.

The 9-2 Vikings, meanwhile, have a much more direct path to the postseason. If they handle the Jets at home, then they'd only need a Lions loss to the Jaguars to earn their spot.
