NFL playoff-clinching scenarios, schedule and seeding for Week 18: Final NFC and AFC wild-card spots, division titles on the line

Week 18 of the 2021 NFL season is upon us. The playoff picture is quite a bit clearer than it was a week ago -- with a number of spots clinched in Week 17 -- but there are many questions to be answered as the postseason bracket is filled up.

In the NFC, six teams have already clinched spots, including the Packers (the No. 1 seed) and division champion Buccaneers and Cowboys. The NFC West title remains up for grabs, as does the last wild-card spot, with two teams looking to clinch.
