Summary

The Los Angeles Rams had to make a big comeback to find victory on Monday Night Football and they weren't able to pull it off, falling in a close one to the Atlanta Falcons. However, it is not time to worry about the Rams. In the NFC, it comes down the the NFC West for the top seed as the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are the only teams vying for the honor. San Francisco needs to go all out for the #1 seed as it would result in only home games all the way to the Super Bowl. The battle for the top seed in the AFC comes down to Week 18 as the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars all still have a shot. Denver has the easiest path, just needing a win, while the Patriots simply need to win and have the Broncos lose and tje Jaguars need both of them to lose while they win. The Chargers face the Broncos, but they are sitting Justin Herbert, making Denver's path easiest, but it is the Patriots who need the top spot the most. They are still a true Super Bowl contender, even if the path will be more difficult now. The AFC and NFC South remain unsolved going into the final week of the regular season. Tyler and Lorin make their picks for who will take the final two spots.
