"With seven weeks remaining in the NFL's regular season, 19 of the 32 franchises are at .500 or better and have legitimate chances to make the playoffs. In the AFC, 10 teams began play this week with non-losing records. Only nine teams have winning records in the NFC and have realistic shots at making the postseason. Mathematically, no team has been officially eliminated from the playoffs yet."
"A single win by the Colts or the Eagles over the next seven weeks eliminates both the Giants and Titans from winning their respective divisions. There are currently five 8-loss teams in the NFL. The Raiders, Jets, Browns, Saints, and Commanders would also need to win out. They would also need a lot of help. The Cardinals, Falcons, Bengals, and Dolphins all have seven losses. A 10-7 finish would probably land a playoff spot."
With seven weeks left in the regular season, 19 of 32 NFL teams sit at .500 or better and have plausible paths to the playoffs. The AFC has 10 non-losing teams while nine NFC teams hold winning records. Tennessee and the New York Giants can only reach 8-9 even if they win out, making a wildcard unlikely. A single Colts or Eagles victory would eliminate the Giants and Titans from division contention. Eleven teams with seven or eight losses face steep hurdles and would generally need to win out plus receive considerable help. The Cowboys and Vikings retain slim sub-15% postseason chances.
