NFL Playoff picture after Week 16

The NFL Week 16 schedule ended last night with the completion of the Dallas Cowboy’s win over the Detroit Lions. A full slate of 16 games for the league went a long way toward figuring out who will be making it into the playoffs this year and who will be going home.

On the AFC side of the tournament, all six berths for the playoffs have been claimed, though there is still seeding to decide. The top two spots are up for grabs still, with three teams vying for them. The third- and fourth-seeds are locked, while the fifth- and sixth-seeds could swap by the end of the weekend.

The NFC bracket is locked at the top position, but there are still teams that could find themselves moving into or out of the playoffs this weekend, with one Wildcard position still to be locked and the NFC North division title coming down to a head-to-head match up on Sunday night.

The full playoff picture for both conferences is below:
