NFL Saturday/Sunday round-up

Scoreboard, and playoff odds.

With one game left to play for most teams, five of the six playoff spots are already settled in each conference:

As of Sunday, the Eagles are now favored to take the NFC East (72% likelihood), thanks to their victory over the Cowboys (now down to 28%).  It seems that nobody wants to win the final AFC Wild Card. The Steelers and Titans both lost, so the new probabilities are:

Steelers 30%
Titans 55%
Raiders 15% (!! Wouldn’t that be a pisser.)

The Titans only need to win. The Steelers need to win while the Titans lose. The Raiders can only make it if they win and the other two lose.

The Ravens have clinched the home field advantage and a first-round bye in the AFC, but the NFC is much more complicated. Four teams are still contending for the top seed (49ers, Saints, Packers, Seahawks). One will get the top seed, permanent home field edge, and a first-round bye. Another team will get the second seed and the other first-found bye. A third team (Seahawks or 49ers) will end up as a wild card team, and the fourth will have to play against a wild card team in the first round. If the season ended this minute, the Niners would get the top seed and the Saints would get the other first-round bye, but that could change dramatically based on the remaining games.
