NFL Playoff Picture 2016: AFC, NFC Wild-Card Scenarios and Week 17 Predictions

Three of the NFL's four wild-card spots remain unsettled entering the 17th and final week of the regular season, but that will change on Sunday when all 32 teams are in action.

In the AFC, the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers are vying for a playoff spot, and while the Kansas City Chiefs have already clinched at least a wild-card berth, they can still win the AFC West with a victory and a Denver Broncos loss.

Things aren't quite as complicated in the NFC, as the winner of the Sunday Night Football clash between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings will take the NFC North, while the loser will settle for the wild card.
