There’s not a single game on this week’s slate of NFL games between teams that have already clinched playoff spots.
Sunday Night Football, where the Seattle Seahawks host the Kansas City Chiefs, is the closest. The Chiefs secured their spot in the postseason two weeks ago, while the Seahawks are almost surely going to claim one of the two NFC wild-card slots.
Football Outsiders calculates Seattle’s playoff odds at 96 percent. That could drop if they lose to the Chiefs, though, and make next week’s contest with the Cardinals a must-win.
The odds are slightly against them, with Kansas City sitting as a 2-point favorite in Week 16’s game of the week in the Sun’s handicapping contest. That means each of the three competing sports writers must use one of six weekly picks off of the South Point betting board on the game.
