espn.com

There are eight weeks left in the 2023 NFL regular season, but we're already looking to January and how the 14-team playoff picture could look on the road to Super Bowl LVIII.

Will the 7-2 Kansas City Chiefs hold onto the 1-seed in the AFC? And could we get a Super Bowl rematch with the 8-1 Philadelphia Eagles, who are currently the 1-seed in the NFC?

Plus, which teams could sneak into the wild-card round of the postseason? We used ESPN's Football Power Index to project the rest of the season, looking at the playoff picture for both conferences, along with odds for the favorites to make the postseason, clinch the division and even make the Super Bowl.

We also have seeding projections for the AFC and NFC, so you can see the most likely matchups in each conference, and an early look at the teams fighting for the No.

The first five spots in the NFC playoff picture are basically settled. Barring something truly catastrophic, we know the 8-3 San Francisco 49ers and 8-3 Detroit Lions are getting into the NFL postseason, almost surely as division champs. The 10-1 Philadelphia Eagles and 8-3 Dallas Cowboys are getting in — one will be the NFC East champion, and the other will likely be the top wild-card team and 5-seed in the conference. Some team, by law, has to win the NFC South. Right now, that's the 5-6 Atlanta Falcons. That's five spots spoken for in the bracket.
