Last week of the regular season. No games today but things get going tomorrow. These are the games with possible playoff implications:
Packers @ Lions - Green Bay still has an outside shot at the top seed in the NFC.
Chargers @ Chiefs - KC can nail down a first round bye with a win and a loss by the Pats. Unlikely since the Pats get the Dolphins.
Pats @ Dolphins - NE gets the two seed and a first round bye handed to them on a silver platter. Thanks, NFL schedulers.
Saints @ Panthers - NO needs the win to stay in the hunt for the top seed in the NFC.
Redskins @ Cowboys - Dallas needs a win plus a Philly loss to win the East and grab a playoff spot. Jason Garrett's last stand?
Raiders @ Broncos - Gruden's guys still somehow in the hunt for a playoff spot. They need a win plus a loss by the Titans and Steelers plus a Colts win PLUS a win by the Lions, Patriots, Bears, or Chargers.
Eagles @ Giants - Philly clinches the NFC East and a four seed with a win. They can still back in with a loss if the Redskins can beat the Cowboys, which would be a fitting end to that division race.
Steelers @ Ravens - The Steelers can snag the six seed with a win and a Tennessee loss. The Ravens will be sitting their starters, so we'll get an RGIII sighting.
Titans @ Texans - Tennessee is in with a win. The Texans should be resting their starters but Bill O'Brien is making noise about possibly playing to win this one.
49ers @ Seahawks - Here's the big one. The Niners can clinch homefield with a win, but a loss drops them all the way to a five seed and a first round road trip to Green Bay or New Orleans or a rematch at Seattle. The Seahawks can clinch a first round bye with a win and a Green Bay loss and the top seed with a win plus a Green Bay loss plus a New Orleans loss.
