Each of these teams are 10-4 and searching for their 11th win of the season.
The Bucs and Cowboys both hold three-game leads in their respective divisions, the Chiefs have a two-game lead in the AFC West and the Cardinals and Rams are deadlocked atop the NFC West.
Tampa Bay have the easiest opportunity to clinch this weekend with a matchup against the 5-9 Carolina Panthers. Arizona will face off against Indianapolis, Kansas City against Pittsburgh, Dallas against Washington and LA against Minnesota.
Of the league’s 32 teams, only five have been eliminated from playoff contention — leaving 27 still in the postseason hunt.
