The NFC is a two-horse race for the No. 1 seed. The Detroit Lions have been the best team in the conference all season, while the Philadelphia Eagles continue to improve each week. Both teams have several tough games remaining, so it will be interesting to see who secures the top spot.
Meanwhile, the NFC West is still up for grabs. The Cardinals are 6-4, but the 49ers, Rams, and Seahawks are all at 5-5. It’s truly anyone’s division.
Regardless of what happens on Sunday, the NFC’s three wild card teams — Vikings, Packers, and Commanders — will remain the same. However, the seeding could change based on the results.
