AFC Playoff Bracket

1. Kansas City Chiefs (11-4, first-round bye)

2. New England Patriots (10-5, first-round bye)

3. Houston Texans (10-5, vs. Indianapolis Colts)

4. Baltimore Ravens (9-6, vs. Los Angeles Chargers)

5. Los Angeles Chargers (11-4, vs. Baltimore Ravens)

6. Indianapolis Colts (9-6, vs. Houston Texans)

In the Hunt

7. Tennessee Titans (9-6)

8. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6-1)

The AFC playoff race is very much still up in the air.

The Kansas City Chiefs have still not secured the No. 1 seed, losing three of their last five games and suffering back-to-back losses in the last two weeks. With a win over the Oakland Raiders in Week 17, the Chiefs would claim the No. 1 seed and home advantage throughout the playoffs.

New England can also secure a first-round bye with a Week 17 victory over the New York Jets. Despite having the same 10-5 record as Houston, the Patriots beat the Texans in their season opener, guaranteeing themselves the tiebreaker f the two teams finish with the same record.

Houston will take on Jacksonville in Week 17 and can lock up the three seed with a win. However, if the Patriots lose to the Jets and the Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Texans will swoop in to take the No. 2 spot and secure the first-round bye.

In the fifth seed, the Los Angeles Chargers are sitting comfortable with an 11-4 record and a playoff berth secured in Week 15. With a matchup against the Broncos to finish up the regular season, the Chargers should notch a 12th win. And if the Chiefs were to lose while the Chargers won, San Diego would jump up to the No. 1 seed.

The fourth and sixth seeds are where things get more complicated. 

Currently, the Ravens sit at No. 4 as they lead the AFC North at 9-6. If they beat the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, the Ravens will win the division and secure the fourth seed. However, Pittsburgh has the opportunity to take the division with a win over Cincinnati if Baltimore loses.

If the Ravens win, the only way for the Steelers to make the playoffs is to beat the Bengals and hope for a Tennessee Titans-Indianapolis Colts tie in Week 17. The winner of that game will determine which of the two teams secures the sixth seed in the wild-card race.

NFC Playoff Bracket

1. New Orleans Saints (13-2, first-round bye)

2. Los Angeles Rams (12-3, first-round bye)

3. Chicago Bears (11-4, vs. Minnesota Vikings)

4. Dallas Cowboys (9-6, vs. Seattle Seahawks)

5. Seattle Seahawks (9-6, vs. Dallas Cowboys)

6. Minnesota Vikings (8-6-1, vs. Chicago Bears)

In the Hunt

7. Philadelphia Eagles (8-7)

The New Orleans Saints did their job in Week 16, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers to take the No. 1 seed in the NFC and securing a first-round bye and home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs.

With the Chicago Bears only a game behind and wining the head-to-head tiebreaker, the Los Angeles Rams need to beat the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17 to secure the No. 2 spot and a first-round bye.

The Bears and the Cowboys have both guaranteed themselves a postseason spot as winners of their divisions, ensuring their respective third and fourth seeds. Chicago could still secure the first-round bye if it beats the Vikings in Week 17 and the Rams lose to the 49ers, although that seems unlikely.

The two wild-card spots are where things get a bit more complicated. Seattle clinched the fifth seed with a win over Kansas City on Sunday night, giving them the current fifth seed. The Seahawks will match up against the Cardinals in Week 17 and would secure the top wild-card spot with a win. 

Minnesota fans, you should be worried. Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles are on a roll and have their eyes set on your team's sixth seed.

The Vikings need a win over the Bears in Week 17 to clinch a postseason appearance. However, if the Vikings lose, the Eagles have a chance to swoop in and claim a playoff spot with victory over the Washington Redskins.

If Philadelphia ties or loses, it will be eliminated from the playoff race no matter the outcome of the Minnesota game.
