Week 17 of the NFL season was the last week of the regular season with some teams still trying to get spots in the playoffs. In the NFC, the New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, and the Washington Redskins all had chances to get into the playoffs this week. The Saints lost to the Chicago Bears 33-25, eliminating their chances of making the playoffs. The Vikings lost to the Denver Broncos 22-19 in overtime, also eliminating their chance of making the playoffs. The Redskins beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-6 to grab the final spot in the NFC playoffs. For the second straight year, the NFC East has three out of four teams in the playoffs. For wild card weekend, the Redskins will play the Seattle Seahawks while the New York Giants will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the AFC, the Cleveland Browns and the Tennessee Titans had chances to make the playoffs. The Browns beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-7 to put themselves in a good position. They just needed the Titans to lose and they would've been in. But that didn't happen. The Titans beat the Indianapolis Colts 16-10 to earn the final playoff spot. The AFC South has three teams in the playoffs just like the NFC East. For wild card weekend, the Titans will play the San Diego Chargers while the Jacksonville Jaguars will play the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Colts, New England Patriots, Cowboys, and the Green Bay Packers all have bye weeks and will play in the second round against the winners of the wild card round. Who will win the Super Bowl? What upset do you see in wild card weekend?
