Hope you’re ready for a wild and wacky NFL Sunday.

With the playoffs starting next week, 10 teams are still in contention for the four postseason berths still up for grabs.

Nothing’s more exciting than a win-or-go-home scenario during the final week of the regular season, and it will happen twice on Sunday when Green Bay travels to NFC North rival Chicago and Philadelphia visits NFC East foe Dallas.

In each case, the winner is conference champion; the loser is done until next fall.

Also in the NFC, a wild-card spot is still open. The New Orleans Saints will claim it with a win over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers or an Arizona Cardinals loss. The Cardinals get it with a win at home over the San Francisco 49ers and a Saints loss.

In the AFC, things are more complicated, with four teams vying for the one remaining wild-card spot. The Miami Dolphins need to beat the New York Jets at home and hope either the Baltimore Ravens lose or the San Diego Chargers win.

The Ravens have to win at the Cincinnati Bengals combined with a loss by either the Dolphins or Chargers.

The Chargers require a victory over the visiting Kansas City Chiefs and losses by the Ravens and Dolphins. The Pittsburgh Steelers can only get in with a home win against the Cleveland Browns and losses by the Dolphins, Ravens and Chargers.

If all four teams going after that one AFC wild-card berth win their games, the Dolphins are in; if all four lose, the Ravens are in.

Vote in the polls below to let us know how you think it will all play out.
