We are in the final race to the playoffs. Four teams have punched their tickets to the postseason with the Chiefs and Bills in the AFC, while the Lions and Eagles are in for NFC. Now it’s about the rest of the teams fighting for their spots to close out the season strong — and that really comes down to this week.
These are the critical games to circle this week where a win could be in, and common games could really have a serious impact on the final race.
Miami vs. Houston
Tampa Bay vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Denver vs. Indianapolis
Packers vs. Seahawks
These games are all critical down the stretch, however Dolphins vs. Texans is really one to circle on. Houston are trying to hold onto first in the AFC South in a year where they’re struggling much more than anyone expected, while the Dolphins are finding new life with Tua Tagovailoa back and desperately need a win in order to keep their hopes alive.
