With 15 weeks of NFL games in the books, the 2021 NFL playoff picture is really starting to take shape. And the NFC, in particular, is playing host to a circus of a wild card race, with at least eight teams fighting over three postseason berths. With Week 16 kicking, which teams look the most formidable in the race? We’re taking stock of the entire pool of them.Find current NFC division leaders below, as well as our rankings of the current wild card contenders:These can obviously change from now until the end of the season, but at the moment, these front-runners are locked in: (11-3) (10-4) (10 Seattle Seahawks Pet Gear -4) (10-4)This is how we’d sort the candidates, but keep in mind only Jake Curhan Jersey three of these can actually make the playoffs: 1. (10-4)Remaining schedule:at Vikings, at , vs. 49ers The Matthew Stafford-Cooper Kupp connection is borderline unstoppable when the offense is clicking. And now and might be working in tandem? Their talent alone should scare potential playoff opponents.2. (8-7)Remaining schedule:vs. , at Rams The 49ers took a step back in their quest for a postseason berth with a disappointing 20-17 lo s to the Titans on Thursday night. The 49ers remain in a good position to earn a wild card spot but have opened the door a crack for the Vikings, Eagles and Saints.3. (7-7)Remaining schedule:vs. Rams, at Packers, vs. Bears They’ve got a tall task facing the Rams and Packers in back-to-back games coming up, but as long as and are healthy, they have a shot. Their “D” really flashed (albeit against the Bears) in Week 15, too. 4. (7-7)Remaining schedule:vs. Giants, at Washington, vs. Cowboys Their pa sing game has limits, but Nick Sirianni has wisely schemed around his personnel, and few teams run the ball with a better combo of speed and power when they’re on schedule. They showed true resiliency in a key divisional game Tuesday.5. (7-7)Remaining schedule:vs. , vs. , at FalconsThey aren’t beating anybody in the playoffs with throwing Darrell Taylor Jersey the way he has lately, but man, Dennis Allen’s defense is feisty. Let them rematch the Bucs another three times, and we’d bet on them getting in.6. (6-8)Remaining schedule:vs. Lions, at , vs. SaintsThey’re not a playoff team. But if they actually clean up the red-zone Gabe Jackson Jersey execution and get back to feeding , they have the wherewithal to spoil someone else’s stretch run. 7. Washington (6-8)Remaining schedule: at Cowboys, vs. Eagles, at GiantsThey don’t really quit under Ron Rivera, and they kept things close with the Eagles despite a rash of COVID-related holes, but the lineup is still far too ravaged by depth concerns to make up for lost ground.These teams aren’t technically out of the mix, but they have an awfully uphill climb to the postseason picture: (5-9): is still not fully right, as evidenced by their 10-point showing Tuesday.Panthers (5-9): They’ve gone 0-4 since return, and their pa sing game hasn’t improved at all. (4-10): We’ Tyler Lockett T Shirts re now at the point where may start over at QB. That says it all. (4-10): Matt Nagy should be thankful for their defense, which is the only reason they kept it close in Week 15.Just what it says. These guys are already looking ahead to 2022: (2-11-1): Officially eliminated, but they could play spoiler as they did against the Cardinals.The new season is here!
