NFL playoff picture: Steve Kornacki breaks down postseason races in Week 17 | FNIA | NFL on NBC

[@postive-vibes]

Rather than ESPN or Fox, NBC took over the whole playoff odds and match-up scenarios segment. Kornacki breaks it down so succinctly, even a casual fan can understand what's at stake each week.

[@prolific1518]

He's used to doing it with political races. I knew I recognized the guy from somewhere 😂

[@postive-vibes]

Yeah, they started to use his skills last year for the NFL playoff races, and it's worked brilliantly. @@prolific1518

[@scruffd0g193]

He’s breaks it down the best.

[@uncreative5766]

I still remember his "What if" scenarios from the 2020 election. Holy crap, the whole, "If Biden or Trump wins [State X], [State Y], etc.," scenarios were insane.

[@QYgod]

As bills fan, our focus should be on beating Miami next week, because other than that it's a good chance we don't get in if we lose to Miami, you're talking from possibly winning the last game of season against Miami and get 2 seed, verses losing to Miami and missing playoffs lol that's crazy, but we can still get in by losing to Miami but that would mean Steelers losing to Baltimore, and I'm pretty sure ravens will be resting players, so I'm expecting Steelers to win, didn't like the way bills looked against pats, really need to be better tho

[@jeffyx3661]

Bills fan my whole life..... We're screwed. They look aweful

[@QYgod]

@@jeffyx3661 yeah but their winning, but they don't look good at all offensively, and I didn't like that last QB run called for Josh to pick up first down to win game, I really think he really hurt his shoulder on that play , so much so that it will be an issue going forward, you have to hand that ball off to the back, worse case scenario, you get stopped on third down and kick field goal, pretty easy kick, go up nine 2 scores with a little over a minute to play, you still win without getting the most important player on the team banged up, but we usually play well against Miami, I think we still beat Miami by 3 in Miami, although I'm sure the dolphins will be out to win division and secure 2 seed, but even if Miami loses they still get 6 seed

I like the chances of the Steelers beating the Ravens back-ups, especially with how Rudolph is playing. Not lighting up the field, but getting it done when it counts.
