The six AFC playoff teams are set. Only the seeding can change. Currently the AFC looks like this:
1. Patriots
2. Raiders
3. Steelers
4. Texans
5. Chiefs
6. Dolphins
The seeding in the AFC can change in so many ways based on the outcome of the Week 17 games.

Four of the six NFC spots are taken. The Cowboys have clinched the top seed and resulting home field throughout the playoffs. The Falcons and Seahawks have clinched their divisions. The Giants have claimed one of the wildcard spots. The NFC North will be settled with the Packers-Lions Sunday night game. It's the final game of the season. The winner takes the division. The loser may or may not be part of the postseason fun. They will know which by game time. Currently the NFC seeding looks like this:
1. Cowboys
2. Falcons
3. Seahawks
4. Packers
5. Giants
6. Lions
7. Redskins
8. Buccaneers
Assuming that there are no more ties this season, the Redskins are in with a win over the Giants on Sunday.

At a glance, the Cowboys and Dolphins are the only teams with playoff dreams without much to play for in Week 17. The Cowboys #1 NFC seed is set. The Dolphins can't do better than the #6 AFC seed that they currently hold. They can foul things up for the Patriots if they defeat them in the season finale. That's a perk.

This should be a wide-open playoffs. There are no dominant teams. The Cowboys and Patriots have dominant records but they've both been vulnerable at times. These playoffs should be fun.
