Who will make NFL playoffs? Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers still in running for NFL postseason.

The final two spots in the NFL playoffs will be decided by a pair of winner-take-all games between division rivals in the regular season’s last week. The winner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens' Week 18 matchup will earn the AFC North division title and the AFC’s last postseason berth as the conference's No. 4 seed.

The 2025-26 NFL Playoff picture continued to take shape Sunday, with several wins and losses affecting the seeding in both the NFC and AFC brackets.

The race for the No. 1 seed is hot. The Seahawks beat the Panthers on Sunday. With the 49ers' win over the Bears on Sunday night, the winner of Seahawks-49ers in Week 18 will be the No. 1 seed in the NFC and win the West.

Jacksonville remains in the mix for the conference's top seed, and they need these three things to happen in Week 18 to secure that spot. Along with pushing for the AFC's No. 1 seed, the Jaguars can still secure the AFC South title in Week 18 as well.

The New England Patriots are AFC East champions for the first time since the Tom Brady era. Drake Maye and the Patriots clinched the division thanks to the Buffalo Bills' 13-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

The Broncos are heavy -175 favorites to earn the AFC No. 1 seed, which comes with a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Broncos could clinch the No. 1 seed as soon as Sunday,
