What do the top playoff prediction models (The Athletic, DVOA, and ESPN) have to say about the Rams' chances at the first seed?

In Week 1, the Seahawks lost 17-13 to the 49ers, and in that game, both Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba fumbled the ball away in the fourth quarter. In Week 5, the Seahawks lost 38-35 because their defense couldn't stop Baker Mayfield, who threw for 379 yards. In Week 11, the Seahawks lost to the Rams because Darnold threw four interceptions.

The Raiders have been dismal in Pete Carroll’s first season. At least they’ll get the No. 1 pick unless they screw up and win a game. The Texans are playing like a Super Bowl contender behind QB C.J. Stroud and a stingy defense.

We're only three games into Week 17, but we've already seen some significant developments that impact the NFL playoff picture.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, and welcome to Week 17 of the NFL season. It's one of the weirdest weeks of the year, as we get three games on Christmas, including the Denver Broncos at the Kansas City Chiefs, and two on Saturday, including the Baltimore Ravens at the Green Bay Packers .

The Denver Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Let's see how the updated AFC Playoff Picture now looks.
