There are just two weeks remaining in the NFL regular season, and the playoff picture is becoming more clear.
Seven teams have clinched postseason berths, including four in the NFC: the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. In the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns are the teams that have clinched. That means seven more spots are on the line in Weeks 17 and 18, as the playoffs begin Jan. 13.
There are five AFC teams at 8-7, including a three-way tie atop the South. In the NFC, the final three teams in the current playoff field are 8-7 -- but there are four more teams on the outside looking in at 7-8.
Here is the current playoff picture for Week 17, along with the clinching scenarios for the weekend:
