3. Los Angeles Rams (9-4)
Week 15 matchup: at Seahawks (4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday)
If the Rams win: They would clinch a playoff berth if the following four teams lose: Lions, Packers, Saints and Falcons.
If the Rams lose: They would have a harder time winning the NFC West. The Seahawks will own the head-to-head tiebreaker, so the Rams would need to win one more game than the Seahawks between Weeks 16 and 17. A loss would also impact L.A.’s chances to win a tiebreaker over the rest of the wild-card field, as it would be the team’s fifth conference loss.
