Week 12 means we’re two-thirds of the way through the 2024 NFL regular season. While that makes it far too early to know exactly which 14 teams are bound for the playoffs and who’ll make up the top of the 2025 NFL Draft, we’ve got a solid idea how things are shaping up.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a 4.5-game cushion between their place at the top of the conference and the Indianapolis Colts’ spot as the last team out of the bracket.
