The insanity of Week 17 is about to kick in with gusto -- the NFL likes to make sure no one has a competitive advantage in terms of knowing outcomes during the final week of the season, so the league schedules every single game on Sunday, making sure games that affect one another start at the same time. The result can be absolute chaos when it comes to the standings. More NFL To make sure you know what's going on, I broke down every po sible seeding outcome for every single remaining in the playoff hunt. The AFC and NFC couldn't be more different right now -- in the AFC almost every team is still alive for a bye and several surprising teams are still alive for the top seed. The NFC is a little more cut and dry.Let's run through every single team, in their current playoff order ahead of Week 17, and look at every scenario for where each team could be seeded. (11-4)Clinched playoff spot? YesNo. 1 AFC seed:There are several ways to get home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The easy one is the Chiefs (13.5-point favorites) beat the . Expect , et al, to play as a result. The Chiefs can also clinch the No. 1 seed if they tie the Raiders and the lose or tie the . They can also clinch the top seed if the Chargers lose, the lose/tie and the Chris Wagner Women Jersey lose/tie. Finally, they can clinch the No. 1 seed if the Chargers lose, the Patriots lose/tie and the Chiefs clinch a strength of victory tie over the Texans through the outcome of other games. Suffice to say, the Chiefs should just go win their game.No. 2 AFC seed: The Chiefs would lose a tiebreaker to the Patriots by virtue of their head-to-head lo s in New England. But they can still lose and get the No. 2 seed if the Chargers lose and the Patriots lose/tie. OR if the Chargers lose and the Texans lose/tie. OR if the Chargers lose and the Chiefs secure a strength of victory tiebreaker over the Texans through the outcome of other games.No. 3 AFC seed: The Chiefs can still clinch the AFC West without getting a first-round bye if Blake McLaughlin Jersey they lose and the Chargers lose or if they tie and the Chargers tie. No. 5 AFC seed: If the Chiefs lose and the Chargers win, the Chiefs would be the No. 5 seed in the AFC.New England Patriots (10-5)Clinched playoff spot? YesNo. 1 AFC seed: The Patriots need help to get home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. If they win and the Chiefs and Chargers lose, the Patriots could get the top seed.No. 2 AFC seed: The Patriots already won their division but they very much want a bye. To get one, they need simply beat the at home this week. They can also get home field if they tie the Jets and the Texans lose or tie against the . If the Patriots lose, they can still get home field by the losing/tying, the the Texans losing and the losing/tying. No. 3 AFC seed: If the Patriots lose and ONE of the Titans Jaycob Megna Jersey , Texans and Ravens win, the Patriots would fall to the third seed. (Baltimore would beat Indianapolis and New England in a tiebreaker for the second seed.)No. 4 AFC seed: If the Patriots lose and two of the Titans, Texans and Ravens win, the Patriots would fall to the fourth seed. Tenne see and Baltimore both have a tiebreaker over New England.Houston Texans (10-5)Clinched playoff spot? YesNo. 1 AFC seed: This is real longshot but still on the table: if the Texans win, the Chiefs lose, the Chargers lose, the Patriots lose AND if the Texans get the strength of victory tiebreaker over the Chiefs, Houston would be the No. 1 seed. No. 2 AFC seed: There are four ways the Texans can still get a first-round bye. First is easy: if they win Sunday against the Jaguars and have the Patriots lose or tie they are the No. 2 seed. Second, the Texans can also win, have the Chiefs lose, the Chargers lose and get the strength of victory tiebreaker over the Chiefs. Third, the Texans can tie and the Patriots can lose. Fourth, the Texans can lose and still get the bye if Titans-Colts ends in a tie, the Patriots lose, the Ravens win and Houston gets strength of victory over the Ravens. Simple!No. Jake DeBrusk Men Jersey 3 AFC seed: The Texans will be the third seed if they win against the Jaguars OR if they lose against the Jaguars and the Titans-Colts game ends in a tie.No. 6 AFC seed: If the Texans lose to the Jaguars, they still make the playoffs but they won't win the AFC South because one of the and Titans will win and supplant them. The Texans also can't catch the Chargers or Chiefs at this point, so they would be the sixth seed if they lose to the Jaguars and Colts-Titans doesn't end in a tie. Baltimore Ravens (9-6)Clinched playoff spot: NoNo. 2 AFC seed: The Ravens don't have a playoff spot yet, but they can still be the No. 2 seed. That's how wild the AFC is! They can get the bye in two ways. One, the Ravens win, the Patriots lose, the Texans lose and Colts-Titans does not end in a tie. Two, the Ravens win, the Patriots lose, the Texans lose and Baltimore tops Houston in the strength of victory tiebreaker through the outcome of other games.No. 3 AFC seed: If the Texans lose, the Ravens win and Colts-Titans does not end in a tie, the Ravens would be the No. 3 seed in the AFC. They could also get it if the Texans lose, the Ravens win and the Ravens get the strength of victory tiebreaker over the Texans based on the outcome of other games. Devin Shore Women Jersey The Ravens hold the tiebreak over the Colts and Titans on conference record and head-to-head record, respectively. If the Texans win, the Patriots lose and the Ravens win, Baltimore would be the No. 3 seed too. They hold the conference record tiebreak over New England as well.No. 4 AFC seed: If the Texans win, the Patriots win and the Ravens win, Baltimore would be the No. 4 seed. The Ravens could also secure the No. 4 seed if they lose and the lose OR if they tie and the Steelers tie in Week 17. Both of those scenarios would give Baltimore the AFC North crown and the fourth seed. No. 6 AFC seed: This is a WILD situation: if the Steelers win and the Ravens TIE the , Pittsburgh would win the division and be the fourth seed. Baltimore would be out of the playoffs unle s the Colts-Titans game ALSO ENDED IN A TIE. If that happens, the Ravens would be the sixth seed.Los Angeles Chargers (11-4)Clinched playoff berth? YesNo. 1 AFC seed: The Chargers need help here, but they can still get the top seed and home-field "advantage" in the playoffs. If they win and the Chiefs lose or tie the Raiders, Los Angeles would be the top seed. If they tie and the Chiefs lose, they would also land it.No. 5 AFC seed: It's either all or nothing in terms of byes, home field, etc. for the Chargers and Chiefs. The Chargers are
