Lineup Field

NFL playoff picture and standings

If the season ended today, the Bills (6–1) would be the AFC's top seed and the 49ers (6–1) the NFC's. Division leaders take seeds 1–4 and the three best other records are the wild cards.

Ties are broken here by point differential, a simplification of the NFL's full tiebreakers (head-to-head, division and conference record come first), so close races can differ from the official order. Through Week 8.
