Packers, Commanders among teams that can clinch playoff spots in Week 16

The number of available spots in the NFL's postseason tournament are disappearing quickly and we could be down to two by the time Week 16 is over.

The NFL released this week's playoff scenarios on Tuesday and five teams are in position to sew up their spots this weekend. The Packers will be the third NFC North team to assure themselves a berth by beating the Saints on Monday night. If the Falcons lose to the Giants on Sunday, the Packers can also get in with losses by either the Rams or Seahawks.

Washington is the other NFC team that can clinch this weekend. They need to beat the Eagles and get one of the same combinations that would help out the Packers.

If the Commanders lose to the Eagles, the Eagles will be the NFC East champs.

As noted earlier on Tuesday, the entire AFC field could be set by the end of this week's games. The Ravens and Broncos are in with wins and the Broncos can also clinch if they lose to the Chargers. They would need the Dolphins, Colts, and Bengals to lose or tie and that scenario would also assure the Chargers a spot in the tournament.

The Chiefs will wrap up the top seed in the conference if they beat the Texans on Saturday and the Bills lose to or tie with the Patriots on Sunday.

The Steelers will clinch the AFC North by beating the Ravens in Saturday's other game. Should that happen, Baltimore would still nab a playoff berth if the Dolphins and Colts lose on Sunday.
