There are just four weeks left in the 2024 NFL regular season and the playoff picture is becoming increasingly clear. Seven teams have already been eliminated from the postseason, and four more have already secured a spot: the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

The Bills and Chiefs won their division titles in Weeks 13 and 14, respectively, while the Lions are in a tight race with the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North crown. The Eagles and Houston Texans can clinch their division titles this weekend, but the AFC North, NFC South and NFC West are very much up for grabs.

Let’s take a look at the Week 15 win scenarios for five teams.
