The Detroit Lions have put themselves in a still feasible playoff position on loud soles. As of week 15, it’s not possible on its own, but the form curve (6 wins from the last 7 games) and the remaining schedule (@CAR, CHI and @GB) speak for the team from Michigan. You have to pass two of the trio New York Giants, Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks.
Six teams have a playoff ticket in their hands, four more could follow at the weekend. Two teams could win their division, one could secure the first round bye.

Very little has changed in the last few weeks. The top 6 have already been determined as playoff participants, the rest will be decided in the coming weeks. After the crazy end of the Patriots vs. Raiders game, New England is in the hunt, the Chargers are close to the playoffs and Las Vegas has another one small outsider chance of 5 percent.

At the weekend, the Chargers could already buy the ticket to fly into the post-season, as could Baltimore, Cincinnati and the New York Giants.
