The Cowboys and Eagles could still swap places in the NFC East, and the Vikings could potentially take the NFC North from the Packers.
But in the NFC I think 5 of the teams are more or less locked in. I don't think the Rams can make a late push to overtake the Vikings or Seahawks out of a Wild Card spot, and the Division is out of the question for them.
The last AFC Wild Card spot is still very open though.
This group is tied at 6-5
Oakland
Tennessee
Indianapolis
Pittsburgh
Than you have Cleveland at 5-6 who might have the easiest schedule left out of that group. Even the Bills are not exactly in the clear with their 8-3 record, as they still have Baltimore, Pittsburgh, @ Dallas, and @ New England as 4 of their remaining 5 games. So they too could end up 9-7.
Plus the AFC West and South are still open for more than one team to win.
