How Does The NFC Wild-Card Picture For The NFL Playoffs Look Like? Here’s Everything You Need To Know

The NFL playoff race is heating up, and the NFC is serving up plenty of drama. With just four weeks left in the 2024 regular season, the playoff picture is starting to take shape. But there’s still plenty to play for, especially in the wild-card hunt, where several teams are battling to secure a spot.
Let’s break down the NFC playoff race and see who’s in, who’s on the bubble, and who could end up in the postseason.
Division Leaders
Detroit Lions (12-1, NFC North)
The Lions are the class of the NFC and have already punched their ticket to the NFL playoffs. At 12-1, they are in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 seed. With an explosive offense and a stout defense, they’re poised to make a deep run. The rest of their schedule looks favorable, making a 15-2 finish a real possibility.
Philadelphia Eagles (11-2, NFC East)
The Eagles have also clinched a playoff berth and remain in contention for the top seed. They’ve been consistent on both sides of the ball and will likely finish with a stellar record. However, their sights are set on locking up home-field advantage for January.
