2020 Week 17 Playoff Picture

• Standings entering week 17
• Standard-Style Clinching Scenarios
  • NFC
  • AFC
• Seed Possibilities
• NFC Tie-Free Scenarios by seed
• AFC Tie-Free Scenarios by seed
• NFC Full Scenarios by seed
• AFC Full Scenarios by seed

The AFC scenarios got a little messy, so I added tie-free versions of all of the seed-specific clinching scenarios.

Standard-Style Clinching Scenarios

This is the standard style scenarios that just involve clinching a playoff berth/division without any concern for seed line. To see the correlated elimination scenarios, check out the elimination section under the seed-specific scenarios. Note that unlike previous posts, I do put the division clinching scenarios inside the generic playoff clinching scenarios. Thus, you’ll see duplication in the division clinch and playoff clinch scenarios for TEN & IND.
