NFL PLAYOFF PICTURE

THEY’RE DEFINITELY IN

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: 13-2

DENVER BRONCOS: 11-4

NEW YORK GIANTS: 11-4

CLEVELAND BROWNS: 9-6-1

BUFFALO BILLS: 9-7

WIN GETS THEM IN

LOS ANGELES RAMS: 10-5

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: 10-5

MINNESOTA VIKINGS: 9-6

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: 8-7

If the Rams win at New England, they would reach the playoffs as a wild card. Even if they lose, the Rams would make it if Minnesota, Philadelphia or Green Bay loses. Washington is already eliminated, but is involved in a tiebreaker situation at 10-6 with Green Bay--should it beat Dallas--and the Rams that would put the Packers into the playoffs by conference record. If there is a two-way tie, the Rams are in because they beat Green Bay. If Washington is involved, it becomes a three-way tie, with conference records being the determining factor.

THEY NEED HELP TO GET IN

GREEN BAY PACKERS: 9-6

HOUSTON OILERS: 9-7

CINCINNATI BENGALS: 8-7

LOS ANGELES RAIDERS: 8-7

MIAMI DOLPHINS: 8-7

If the Raiders beat the New York Giants today, they can be a wild card if Indianapolis and Cincinnati lose.

All the possibilities for the other playoff contenders, C11.
