Ranking non-playoff teams' chances of making 2017 field

Eighteen of the NFL's 32 teams have been eliminated from the 2016 postseason. A 19th, Tampa Bay, is only alive in the vaguest sense. With 10 teams having clinched their playoff trip, we are down to three teams -- the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins -- competing for two spots with one week to go. Most of the drama left revolves around seeding and byes, with eliminated teams like the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints only standing out for the possibility of spoiling their rivals' chances of claiming a first-round bye.
