There isn’t a lots of Week 18 drama in the NFC beyond the apparent fight for the No. 1 seed in between the Lions and Vikings.
The Philadelphia Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed with the only staying concern being whether head coach Nick Sirianni will play running back Saquon Barkley, who is 101 hurrying lawns far from setting the single-season record, versus the New York Giants.
The Los Angeles Rams have actually currently clinched the NFC West, and the Washington Commanders and Green Bay Packers are locked into wild-card areas.
The NFC South is still up for grabs.
Control of the NFC South is back in the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, however, after the Atlanta Falcons was up to the Commanders in overtime on Sunday. Tampa Bay will be the department champ with a win or a tie versus the New Orleans Saints.
Atlanta requires to beat the Carolina Panthers and expect a New Orleans triumph. The Saints have actually lost 3 directly while balancing 9.67 points because period, so the Falcons aren’t precisely in perfect position.
Eventually, all eyes will be on the Sunday night video game in between the Vikings and Lions.
