NFC playoff picture after Week 11

1st-Round Byes

  1. 49ers, 9-1
  2. Packers, 8-2

These two teams play each other on Monday Night Football in Week 12 in a game that has all of the playoff implications.

Wild Card Round

6. Vikings (8-2) at 3. Saints (8-2)
5. Seahawks (8-2) at 4. Cowboys (6-4)

The Vikings are inching closer to the top of the NFC North and potentially a first-round bye.

Minnesota has a bye in Week 12.

The Saints have a chance to knock Carolina out of the playoff picture in Week 12 at home.

The Seahwks have a big game in Philadelphia in Week 12 before hosting the Vikings on Monday Night Football in Week 13.

The Cowboys extended their lead over the Eagles in the NFC East, but have the Patriots in New England in Week 12. Good luck.

Hanging On

Rams, 6-4
Eagles, 5-5
Panthers, 5-5
Bears, 4-6

The Rams kept their playoff hopes alive (and probably knocked out the Bears in doing so), but are still two wins back from a wild card spot. They get to go up against Lamar Jackson in Week 12. Fun times!

The Eagles had their chance against the Patriots, but they are only a game back in the NFC East.
