Following their defeat on Thursday Night Football, the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) still have the second-best record in the AFC, positioning them to face off against the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs if they commenced this weekend.

Not much is expected to change at the top of the AFC playoff standings this weekend. If the Steelers had managed to beat the Cleveland Browns, they might have overtaken the Buffalo Bills (9-2), who are on a bye this week.

The Bills could ascend in the standings if the underdog Carolina Panthers (3-7), who are 10.5-point underdogs, manage to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) in a CBS game at 1 p.m. ET. A win would allow the Bills to take the conference’s top position due to their prior victory over the Chiefs, 30-21, in Week 11.

NFL Playoff Bracket and Schedule

A small upset this week could lead to complete parity in the NFC West, with each team sitting at 6-5. However, tie-breakers will determine which of the four teams secures either the third or fourth playoff spot, which is currently held by the Arizona Cardinals (6-4), the division leader.

The Cardinals will play against the 5-5 Seattle Seahawks at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, airing on FOX. As per BetMGM’s odds on Sunday morning, both teams are even. Meanwhile, the 5-5 Los Angeles Rams are slight 3-point underdogs in “Sunday Night Football” on NBC against the Philadelphia Eagles (7-3), who are currently in second place in the NFC.

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood will also host the game on the following night, where the Harbaugh brothers will face off for the third time in their NFL coaching careers. The Baltimore Ravens (7-4) will take on the Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) in “Monday Night Football.” Both teams have over a 90% chance of making the playoffs, regardless of the game’s result. Current BetMGM odds favor the Ravens by 2.5 points.
