NFL PLAYOFF PICTURE
THEY’RE DEFINITELY IN

DENVER BRONCOS: 11-4
NEW YORK GIANTS: 11-4
CLEVELAND BROWNS: 9-6-1

WIN GETS THEM IN

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: 10-5
MINNESOTA VIKINGS: 9-6
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: 8-7
If the Rams win at New England, they would reach the playoffs as a wild card. Even if they lose, the Rams would make it if Minnesota, Philadelphia or Green Bay loses. Washington is already eliminated, but is involved in a tiebreaker situation at 10-6 with Green Bay--should it beat Dallas--and the Rams that would put the Packers into the playoffs by conference record. If there is a two-way tie, the Rams are in because they beat Green Bay. If Washington is involved, it becomes a three-way tie, with conference records being the determining factor.
THEY NEED HELP TO GET IN
GREEN BAY PACKERS: 9-6
HOUSTON OILERS: 9-7
CINCINNATI BENGALS: 8-7
LOS ANGELES RAIDERS: 8-7
MIAMI DOLPHINS: 8-7
If the Raiders beat the New York Giants today, they can be a wild card if Indianapolis and Cincinnati lose.
