#7 Seed AFC - Houston Texans
For the first time since September, the Houston Texans looked out of their element last time out. Nevertheless, they extended their winning streak to seven games, all but guaranteeing the Texans a playoff berth.

#1 Seed NFC - Chicago Bears
The Ben Johnson era got off to a slow start. Still, the Chicago Bears have looked like the best team in the NFL over the past couple of months. With the war of attrition in the NFC West, the Bears are poised to steal the top spot in the conference and a first-round bye.

#2 Seed NFC - Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams have hit a wall over the last month. Losers of two of their previous four, the Rams have fallen from the top of the conference. Two more wins are within reach, though, meaning they should do enough to secure the second seed in the NFC.

#3 Seed NFC - Philadelphia Eagles
It hasn't been a convincing season for the defending champs. The Philadelphia Eagles have looked ineffective, particularly over the final few weeks of the season. While they are guaranteed the NFC East crown, we're not optimistic about their playoff chances.

#4 Seed NFC - Carolina Panthers
The betting odds might not be in their favor, but the Carolina Panthers are poised to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017. Watch as they get past the Bucs in Week 18 at Raymond James Stadium.

Odds to Make Playoffs: +124

Super Bowl Odds: +17500
#5 Seed NFC - San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers control their own destiny, but it's a daunting path. If they win their next two games, the Niners are guaranteed the top spot in the conference. But that task is easier said than done. San Francisco will be relegated to the fifth seed.

Super Bowl Odds: +1300
#6 Seed NFC - Seattle Seahawks
We have little reason to doubt the Seattle Seahawks, but those minor apprehensions grow strong. They travel east for Week 17 before heading to Levi's Stadium in Week 18. Even one loss could knock the Seahawks from their perch, but we wouldn't be surprised to see them drop both.

Super Bowl Odds: +650
#7 Seed NFC - Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers must be feeling pretty grateful that they did all the heavy lifting at the start of the season. They just have to hold steady over the final couple of weeks of the season to maintain their playoff position.

Odds to Make Playoffs: -4000

Super Bowl Odds: +1500
#1 Seed AFC - New England Patriots
The New England Patriots validated their position as best in conference with their Week 16 triumph over the Ravens. With an unobstructed path to the playoffs, we predict the Pats will skate into the postseason on a first-round bye.

#2 Seed AFC - Jacksonville Jaguars
We've all been sleeping on the Jacksonville Jaguars for way too long. Coming off a monumental upset over the Broncos, the Jags have a path to the second seed in the AFC. Given the other schedules, we're taking Jacksonville in the two-spot.

Super Bowl Odds: +1200
#3 Seed AFC - Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos have made short work of their opponents this season, but a Week 18 matchup versus the Chargers could relegate the AFC West leaders to third in the conference. With Jacksonville expected to take care of business, the Broncos could see a late-season fall down the standings.

Super Bowl Odds: +1000
#4 Seed AFC - Pittsburgh Steelers
All of a sudden, the Pittsburgh Steelers look like legitimate contenders. The Steelers bested the Ravens in Week 15, following that up with a nail-biting win over the Lions on Sunday. The betting odds continue to shift further in their favour, and there's no letting up now.

Odds to Make Playoffs: -1200

Super Bowl Odds: +4000
#5 Seed AFC - Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers are finding their rhythm at the right time of year. Still, there's not enough runway left to take a run at the Broncos in the AFC West. With that, they'll be playing a road playoff game as one of the hottest teams in the league.

Super Bowl Odds: +1700
#6 Seed AFC - Buffalo Bills
Arguably, there's no better offensive team in the NFL than the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo puts the pedal to the metal on offense, forcing opponents to keep pace. While they were lucky to secure victory in Week 16, they might not be so fortunate versus the Eagles next time out.

#7 Seed AFC - Houston Texans
For the first time since September, the Houston Texans looked out of their element last time out. Nevertheless, they extended their winning streak to seven games, all but guaranteeing the Texans a playoff berth.
