NFC Playoff Picture Week 17

6. San Francisco 49ers (8-7)

Remaining foes’ combined records: 15-15

Opponents’ win percentage: .500

Current playoff odds (via FiveThirtyEight.com): 75 percent

Status: The 49ers couldn’t hold a double-digit halftime lead and suffered a loss to the Titans on Thursday night. San Francisco is still in a good position to make the postseason, but the 49ers now find themselves in a fight for the No. 6 seed. The 49ers are looking to make the postseason for the first time since 2019 when they advanced to Super Bowl LIV.

7. Philadelphia Eagles (8-7)

Remaining foes’ combined records: 17-13

Opponents’ win percentage: .567

Current playoff odds (via FiveThirtyEight.com): 68 percent

Status: Philadelphia is officially red-hot, as the Eagles are in position for a playoff spot with two games to go. The Eagles, who have won six of eight, could take a big step toward cementing a postseason berth with over Washington. Philadelphia last made the postseason in 2019.

8. Minnesota Vikings (7-8)

Remaining foes’ combined records: 17-13

Opponents’ win percentage: .567

Current playoff odds (via FiveThirtyEight.com): 13 percent

Status: The Vikings once again failed to get over .500 for the fourth time this season, and saw their playoff chances take a big hit. Minnesota now needs to win out and hope for some help. That won’t be easy given the Week 17 opponent — a Green Bay team that has plenty to play for. The Vikings are in danger of missing the playoffs for the second straight season for the first time in the Mike Zimmer era.

Remaining foes’ combined records: 16-14

Opponents’ win percentage: .533

Current playoff odds (via FiveThirtyEight.com): 2 percent

Status: The Falcons kept their faint playoff hopes alive with Sunday’s win over the Lions. Atlanta likely faces a must-win scenario again in Week 17 as it tries to get to .500 for the first time since Week 7. The Falcons have a tough test at the Bills, who are looking to stay in first place in the AFC East.

10. New Orleans Saints (7-8)

Remaining foes’ combined records: 12-18

Opponents’ win percentage: .400

Current playoff odds (via FiveThirtyEight.com): 35 percent

Status: New Orleans’ two-game win streak was halted on Monday night as the Saints — who started rookie Ian Book at quarterback — couldn’t keep pace in the NFC. New Orleans will look to stay alive in January as it closes out its season with a pair of division games.

11. Washington Football Team (6-9)

Remaining foes’ combined records: 12-18

Opponents’ win percentage: .400

Current playoff odds (via FiveThirtyEight.com): 7 percent

Status: Once in a Wild Card spot, Washington’s playoff hopes are all but gone after its third loss in a row. Washington was embarrassed with a 42-point road defeat by Dallas in Week 16 and now returns home to face a fellow division rival in Philadelphia. Washington will be eliminated if it loses one more game.

12. Carolina Panthers (5-10)

Remaining foes’ combined records: 18-12

Opponents’ win percentage: .600
