The NFL is closing its schedule for Jan.. Week starts on Saturday and we’re seeing some playoffs and moves. We split it up into week 16 Sunday.

The NFL has a wide variety of games to choose from, starting week 16 ahead of the usual Sunday / Monday schedule. The league finalized its Thursday night football schedule last week, but Christmas week brought extra early football. We had a game on Friday for Christmas and a triple header on Saturday.

Teams determine their playoff position and time is running out for several teams. We started Week 16 with six teams that had secured a place in the playoffs and a variety of teams with a chance of victory.

We have two games on schedule and two teams have won something related to the playoffs. The Saints were already in the playoffs but they took the NFC South title with a win over the Vikings. In the meantime, the Buccaneers took their place on the wild card with their 47-7 win over the Lions.

Nobody can secure a playoff spot in the 49ers-Cardinals and Dolphins-Raiders, but three of the four teams need a win. Arizona can secure a place in the playoffs with one win and one loss for the bears. Miami can’t secure a playoff spot with a win, but needs a win to stay ahead and the Ravens. The Raiders will be excluded from the playoff competition with a loss or a win by Rvans.

Here’s what the playoff picture looks like on Saturday afternoon as 49ers-Cardinals work through the first half. You can read playoff tiebreakers here.
