Of note at the end of next week it could be potentially 13 teams fighting for the last 4 playoff spots.  Of which one MUST be Philadelphia or Dallas.  And One MUST be Detroit, Green Bay or Chicago.  Meaning 8 teams fighting for 2 wild card spots.  Six of which are fighting for one single spot.


 

AFC Wildcard Spot #2: (6 teams)

Dolphins/Chargers/Ravens/Steelers/Titans/Jets


NFC Wildcard Spot #2: (5 teams)

Cardinals/Panthers/ Loser of Philadelphia vs Dallas / 2 losers of GB/Det/Chi
