NFL Playoff Picture 2025: Updated AFC, NFC Wild Card Bracket Ahead of Week 18

A single playoff spot has yet to be clinched ahead of Week 18.

The last AFC wild-card spot will be handed out on Sunday afternoon to either the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins or Cincinnati Bengals.

Cincinnati forced the three-way battle to go into the final week of the NFL regular season thanks to its head-to-head win over Denver in Week 17.

Denver still controls its path to the postseason, and it is expected that the Broncos end the long-shot dreams of the Dolphins and Bengals.

The Broncos face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.
