The NFL playoffs are drawing nearer, but as we enter Week 14 of the 2022 NFL season, no playoff spots have been clinched thus far.Sure, there are a handful of teams that are pretty much locked into the playoffs. They either have or it would take something mathematically improbable for them to drop out of the top seven in their respective conferences.But still, the NFL is unpredictable, and nothing is guaranteed until it becomes official. As such, fans will be paying close attention to playoff-clinching scenarios, the playoff picture in general and seeding acro s both conferences as they hope their favorite team can challenge for a Super Bowl.As it stands, the AFC is filled with talented teams that could challenge for playoff spots while the No. 1 seed changed hands in Week 13. That points to Buddy Howell Jersey a competitive battle on that side of the bracket, and it may not be decided until the final weeks of the season.The NFC is a bit weaker. Thus, it is clearer who the top teams in that conference will be, but the battles for the NFC South, West and wild cards will be of interest. There is a logjam of solid teams competing for the lattermost spots, and fans of the Giants, Commanders and Seahawks will have a particular interest in the wild-card race this season. , so those can help you see whether yourfavorite team's chances of making the playoffs will improve or le sen in Week 14. Either way, there will be plenty of competition for those final playoff spots, as adding a No. 7 seed in each conference has created much more drama in the last couple of postseason races.And while a No. 7 seed hasn't yet won in four chances, it may have a chance to Los Angeles Rams Jersey do so this year given how tightly packed each conference and wild-card race figures to be.WEEK 14 NFL PICKS: | Getty No. 1 seed: Buffalo BillsThe Bills have recovered from back-to-back midseason lo ses to the Jets and Vikings to climb back atop the AFC East and the AFC as a whole. They beat the Chiefs head-to-head, so they own the tiebreaker over their 9-3 counterpart, as the two are tied for the AFC's best record.No. 2seed: Kansas City ChiefsGames remaining:The Chiefs continue to be one of the NFL's best and most consistent teams. Patrick Mahomes is in the MVP discu sion despite Tyreek Hill's absence, and the team has had just one bad lo s this season, against the Colts.The Chiefs might not be as explosive as they once were, but they are still one of the NFL's top teams. And as long as Mahomes is on the field, they will be a threat to win the No. 1 seed, especially considering that the Chiefs have an easier schedule to finish the season than do the Bills.No. 3 seed: Baltimore RavensThe bad news: the Ravens are going to have to survive for a little while without Lamar Jackson, who is dealing with a PCL injury. The good news: Tyler Huntley is a capable backup and led the Ravens to a 10-9 win over the Broncos in Week 13. The team's schedule doesn't look too daunting, despite there being four divisional games among the five left on Baltimore's schedule.No. 4 seed: Tenne see TitansThe Titans haven't been overly impre sive this season and have gone just 2-3 in their last five games. They just fired general manager Jon Robinson after a 35-10 blowout lo s to the Eagles during which former Titans receiver A.J. Brown had a ma sive game.Even despite these struggles, Mike Vrabel has the Titans at 7-5 and the team is well ahead in the AFC South race. Tenne see will look to clinch its third consecutive division title and has a good chance to do it considering that there are two games with the Texans still on their schedule.No. 5seed: Cincinnati BengalsGames remaining: vs. Browns, at Buccaneers, at Patriots, vs. Sony Michel Jersey Bills, vs. RavensThe Bengals started the season 0-2, but since then, they have been one of the best teams in the AFC. They are fresh off a third win over the Chiefs in the 2022 calendar year and are pushing the Ravens for the top spot in the AFC North. They haven't quite overtaken Baltimore yet, since the Ravens own a tiebreaker over them.No. 6 seed: Miami DolphinsThe Dolphins have been streaky at times this season, but Mike McDaniel and Tyreek Hill are making a big difference for them. Tua Tagovailoa looks like a solid starter and that should be enough to get the Dolphins into the playoffs as a wild-card team, at a minimum.Miami was also ahead of the Bills in the AFC East race entering Week 13, so the Dolphins could get back to the No. 1 seed and a top-four seat if things go well for them. They still have to face every team in their division once with their Week 15 game against the Bills being of the most concern to them.No. 7seed: New York JetsGames remaining: at Bills, vs. Lions, vs. Jaguars, at Seahawks, at DolphinsThe Dolphins aren't the only team breathing down the Bills' neck as they fight to secure the AFC East Troy Reeder Jersey . The Jets aren't far behind and have a chance to make up ground on the No. 1 seed in Week 14. The Jets' offense has been more effective under Mike White than it was with Zach Wilson, so perhaps they can upset Buffalo for a second time this season.NFL POWER RANKINGS: No. 1 seed: Philadelphia EaglesThe Eagles are the NFL's lone one-lo s team remaining. They have one of the most explosive offenses and a strong defense that has a lot of depth on the defensive line. Philadelphia blew out Tenne see 35-10 in Week 13 and can clinch a playoff birth with a win or a tie against the Giants in Week 14.No. 2seed: Minnesota VikingsThe Vikings have a sizable, five-game lead in the NFC North and need to win just once more to wrap it up. The Lions (5-7) are the only team that can chase them down, and the Vikings are playing them in Week 14. So, with a win, the Vikings would lock down the division.Despite their 10-2 record, the Vikings have only one a single game by more than one score. That came back in Week 1 against the Packers.No. 3 seed: San Francisco 49ersThe 49ers are 8-4 on the season and have navigated the season well after Trey Lance's season-ending injury. Now, they must do the same with Jimmy Garoppolo sidelined. Brock Purdy looked good in the 49ers' 33-17 win over the Dolphins, and he must continue to perform well in that regard with the Seahawks just one game behind San Francisco for the division lead.No. 4 seed: Tampa Bay BuccaneersGames remaining: The Buccaneers have had to pull out a couple of 11th-hour wins against the Rams and, most Terrell Lewis Jersey recently, the Saints, to stay at .500. The 6-6 team has the advantage in the AFC South, which may be the NFL's worst division, but will need to show some cohesion on offense to consistently compete with playoff teams.Tampa Bay has a couple of big tests upcoming against the 49ers and Bengals. A win in either will keep t
