NFL playoff bracket: Updated look at playoff picture for Week 16
With three weeks left to play, three of the four AFC divisions are already decided, and with a win Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-4) could lock up the AFC North.
The Steelers, who have clinched a playoff spot, travel to Baltimore to play their AFC rival Ravens (9-5) at 4:30 p.m. EST on FOX. The Steelers defeated the Ravens 18-16 in Week 11, but the Ravens are nearly a touchdown favorite this week, according to BetMGM odds on Friday afternoon.
Saturday’s other game at 1 p.m. EST between Kansas City Chiefs (13-1) and Houston Texans (9-5) on NBC could be a playoff preview. That’s true for Chiefs in their final two games, too. That assumes the Denver Broncos (9-6), who lost to the Los Angeles Chargers (9-6) on Thursday, hold on to the seventh playoff slot.

On the other side of the bracket, no team has officially locked up a division title in the NFC, but the Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) could be the first if they defeat the Washington Commanders (9-5) in Landover, Maryland, on Sunday (1 p.m. FOX). With a loss the Commanders, in the last playoff slot, would still have 78% chance of making the playoffs, according to Next Gen Stats.
