The NFL kicks off Week 16 on Thursday with the New York Giants traveling to face the Philadelphia Eagles. If the Giants win they clinch a playoff berth, and also remain within striking distance of the Dallas Cowboys atop the NFC East. if the Giants lose, they only need a loss from one of the Lions, Packers, Bucs, or Falcons to clinch a wild card berth.
The Seattle Seahawks can clinch a first round bye with a win plus a Lions loss plus a Falcons loss or tie. This is notable because if they clinch this, they will have nothing to play for in Week 17.
