Week 18 in the NFL has quite a few different scenarios that could play out, as the final playoff spots (and seedings) will be determined. The league has its No. 1 seeds set in each conference with the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens, but plenty of playoff berths and pairings still need to be determined.

The NFC East, AFC East, AFC South, and NFC South are still up for grabs — along with the final NFC playoff spot and two AFC wild card spots. Six teams (two in AFC, four in NFC) remain in the playoff race that are currently on the outside looking in, setting the stage for a crazy final weekend of football.
