"As we enter Week 18 of the 2026 NFL season, the NFC playoff picture has nearly taken full shape. Three out of four division winners have been decided, and all three Wildcard teams are set in stone. The only thing left to determine is seeding between the top seed Seattle Seahawks and the seventh seed Green Bay Packers. There is much to discuss before the rest of Week 18 resumes today (Sunday) at noon, so let's get to it."
"Battle for the Final Spot Six of the seven (cue the 6/7 kids) playoff teams have already been determined, so let's call them out by division. The NFC North will be represented in the playoffs by the division winner, the Chicago Bears, and a Wildcard team, the Green Bay Packers. In the NFC East, the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles are the only representative for the division, as the next team up, the Dallas Cowboys, failed to qualify."
As Week 18 begins, three of four NFC division winners are decided and all three Wildcard teams are set. The Seattle Seahawks secured the NFC West title and the conference's No. 1 seed after a road defensive win in San Francisco. The Green Bay Packers locked the No. 7 seed while the Chicago Bears won the NFC North. The Philadelphia Eagles represent the NFC East as division champions. The NFC South division title remains undecided between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Atlanta Falcons contingent on Sunday results. Only Seattle and Green Bay have locked seeding positions.
