Unlike the AFC, the NFC has less uncertainty heading into Week 17, as all four divisions have already been decided.


The Saints have clinched the No. 1 seed and will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Rams will clinch the No. 2 seed with a win over the 49ers or a Bears loss to the Vikings. Chicago can only move up to No. 2 with a win and a Los Angeles loss.


Unless they move up to No. 2, the Bears will be the No. 3 seed. The Cowboys are locked in as the No. 4 seed.


The Seahawks will clinch the No. 5 seed with a win over the Cardinals or a Vikings loss to the Bears. They can only fall to No. 6 with a loss and a Minnesota win.


The Vikings will secure the final playoff berth with a win or an Eagles loss to the Redskins. Philadelphia can only make the playoffs with a win and a Minnesota loss.
