With the NFL Playoffs around the corner, every team will aim to win their remaining games. Here is the projection for every team in the playoff ladder.

ARIZONA CARDINALS

In their latest outing, the Arizona Cardinals (7-6) increased their playoff bid to 51 percent after defeating the New York Giants. They could land the last spot in the NFC playoffs.

ATLANTA FALCONS

With their recent loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Falcons fall to a 4-9 record. Most likely, they have less than one percent chance of entering the playoffs this year.

BUFFALO BILLS

It's no avail to question Bills' (10-3) effort to be in playoff contention after owning the Pittsburgh Steelers in their last win. If they win their next game against Denver, their chance of landing a playoff spot will be 99 percent.

Either a win or lose against Miami will guarantee the Bills a sure spot.

BALTIMORE RAVENS

The Ravens are all hungry for playoff contention after beating Cleveland Browns. The win gave them a 21 percent boost for the playoff spot, with a winning chance of 74 percent.

CAROLINA PANTHERS

The Panthers' (4-9) chance for the playoffs decreased following a defeat against the Denver Broncos. Most likely, they will exit early.

CINCINNATI BENGALS

The playoff dream is over for the Bengals (2-10) after losing to the Dallas Cowboys.

CLEVELAND BROWNS

The Browns (9-4) may have lost to the Ravens, but still, they are sitting at an 84 percent playoff chance.

CHICAGO BEARS

From 12 percent, the Bears (6-7) were able to boost their playoff chances after beating the Texans. The last thing that they should do is to defeat their co-division Vikings for a sure spot.

DALLAS COWBOYS

Despite thumping the Bengals, the Cowboys (4-9) will likely be eliminated before the playoffs.

DENVER BRONCOS

The Broncos (5-8) may have beaten the Panthers, but that does not guarantee them a playoff spot.

DETROIT LIONS

The Lions' (5-8) latest loss to the Packers gifted them a sure spot for the elimination.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

The Packers (10-3) won against the Lions, which handed them the playoff spot. If the Packers want to dominate the NFC playoff, they should watch out for the Saints, who also have a 10-3 card. The darkhorse teams besides the Saints are the Rams and the Seahawks.

HOUSTON TEXANS

Before their defeat to the Bears, the Texans (4-9) have already been far from playoff contention.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

The Colts (9-4) were at par with the Titans in the AFC South after they clouted the Raiders. They are secured to have a playoff spot.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

The Chiefs (12-1) have clinched a playoff spot. They should watch out for the Steelers, who sit behind them come the playoffs.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

The Raiders (7-6) decreased their playoff chance to 23 percent. They could regain their 42 percent chance if they finish the postseason with three more wins to make them a legit contender at 10-6. They just have to watch out for the Dolphins.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

The Chargers (4-9) have been eliminated.

LOS ANGELES RAMS

The Rams (9-4) are nearing a playoff berth. One more win is all they need to land the spot.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

The Jaguars (1-12) have strayed far from the contention.

MIAMI DOLPHINS

The Dolphins (8-5) need to win two of their next three games to stay alive in the contention.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

The recent loss to the Buccaneers was a frustration to their contention bid. If the Vikings (6-7) manage to turn it around, their chance will increase. The only thing they should do is get out of the division with a 9-7 card. They need to win their last game against the Saints.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

The Patriots (6-7) will rely on solid wins to enter the playoffs. If they lose at least one of their remaining games, they are out of the playoff picture.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

The Saints (10-3) are secured of a playoff spot even if they lose to the Eagles. If they want to retain their dominance, they need to prepare against the Chiefs.

NEW YORK GIANTS

The defeat to the Cardinals handed the Giants (5-8) a slim 24 percent chance for contention. If they want to enter the playoffs, they need to win their next games and pray that Washington will lose their remaining.

NEW YORK JETS

The Jets (0-13) did not win a single game in the season, but this will land them the 2021 Draft Pick No. 1.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

The Eagles (4-8-1) have bounced from a six to 12 percent chance to the Playoffs. They know that they should not be sleeping in the NFC East. The Eagles will aim to finish at 7-8-1. A loss by the Cowboys, Giants, and Washington will boost the Eagles' contention.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

With their 11-2 card, the Steelers have clinched a playoff spot. They should win games even during the bye weeks.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

The 49ers (5-8) now sit at a nine percent chance of making the playoffs after losing to Washington.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

The Seahawks (9-4) will look forward to winning their game next week to lock themselves in the playoff tree. They could top the NFC, but they need to win their remaining three games and hope that the Saints and Packers will lose successively.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Buccaneers (8-5) zoomed to a 94 percent chance of a playoff spot. Next week, only one win is needed for them to enter the playoffs. The Buccaneers might land as a wild-card while they tail behind the Saints. Winning their remaining games will be the final solution.

TENNESSEE TITANS

The Titans (9-4) are the front runners in the AFC South. They have a 94 percent chance to enter the playoffs, but they need to win their remaining matches. If they aim for the No. 1 spot, they could pray that the Steelers will dump their next games.

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM

Washington (6-7) needs two wins for the playoff spot. Their consecutive wins and consecutive loss by the Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants will land them a sure spot.
