3. Los Angeles Rams (10-6)
The NFC North title race will come down to the final game of the NFL regular season.
The Detroit-Minnesota winner earns the divisional crown and home-field advantage throughout the NFC postseason.
The loser of Sunday night’s matchup will be the No. 5 seed and will face either the Los Angeles Rams or the NFC South winner in the wild-card round.
Los Angeles opted to rest its starters in Week 18, so a loss combined with a Tampa Bay win would drop the Rams to the No. 4 seed on the conference record tiebreaker.
Tampa Bay needs to beat the New Orleans Saints to secure the NFC South crown.
The Atlanta Falcons must beat the Carolina Panthers and have Tampa Bay lose to secure the NFC South crown. If Atlanta wins the NFC South, the Rams would be the No. 3 seed.
The Washington Commanders must beat the Dallas Cowboys, or have the Green Bay Packers lose to the Chicago Bears to secure the No. 6 seed.
Green Bay can’t jump Washington if the two teams finish with the same record because the Commanders own a better conference record.
