The Atlanta Falcons' upset of the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night continued to muddy the waters in the NFC South. The champion of that division and the AFC North are the only remaining playoff spots open in the NFL heading into the regular-season finale.
x − 2. Chicago Bears (11-4), NFC North leaders: A remarkable overtime win against Green Bay in Week 16 helped them clinch a playoff berth − cemented by Detroit's loss Sunday. Chicago is also still in play for the NFC's No. 1 seed and will win the division with one more win or Packers loss. Remaining schedule: at 49ers, vs. Lions
Notable odds: The Bears secured a playoff berth via the Lions' loss to the Steelers in Week 16, and they won the NFC North after their overtime win over the Green Bay Packers, who also fell to the Ravens on Saturday night. The Bears also have about a 14% chance at the No. 1 overall seed.
