The final week of the 2021 NFL regular season is here.
For the first time in NFL history, there will be a Week 18, and there’s still a lot that needs to be decided. Both conferences still have a few playoff spots up for grabs and all the determinations will have to be decided over the weekend.
The AFC still has Nos. 6 and 7 to be determined as well as how the entire conference seeding will play out. Unlike the NFC, where the Green Bay Packers have already locked up home-field advantage, the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs are fighting to the bitter end for the top seed.

The Indianapolis Colts have the No. 6 seed but could lose out if the Jacksonville Jaguars pull off an upset. The Los Angeles Chargers could wrap up a spot with a win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but also the Raiders could sneak in with a win over the Chargers. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are still in contention but hanging on by a thread.
In the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers have the No. 6 spot but haven’t gotten things locked up just yet. The New Orleans Saints could still slide in with a win and 49ers loss.
Week 18 should be fun to watch.
