With one game left of the 2023 regular season, the NFC playoff picture is set for wildcard weekend with every NFC team having played already. As the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills square off tonight to conclude Week 18, the NFC playoff picture is officially set.
Here's the wildcard round fixtures after Week 18:
- Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers
- Detroit Lions vs Los Angeles Rams
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Philadelphia Eagles
The San Francisco 49ers finished the regular season with a 12-5 record and clinched the first seed in the NFC. They will enjoy a first-round bye next weekend.
At 12-5, the Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East and earned the second seed. The Lions, with the same record, won the NFC North and hold the third seed. The last divisional winner, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-8) own the fourth seed. The Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, and the Green Bay Packers all got in as wildcard teams as the fifth, sixth, and seventh seeds respectively.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Cowboys will host the Packers, the Lions will host the Rams, and the Eagles will play on the road in Tampa Bay.
The seven AFC teams are set, with the Jacksonville Jaguars losing to the Tennessee Titans today. As a result of the Jags' loss, both the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers clinched a wildcard berth.
The other five playoff teams in the AFC include the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and Houston Texans.
Once the Dolphins-Bills game concludes tonight, the full AFC playoff picture will be set.
