NFL Playoff Picture 2022: Week 15 Wild Card Standings and Super Bowl Odds
Not only did the Philadelphia Eagles make a statement against one of their NFC East rivals on Sunday, but they guaranteed that they'll be playing beyond Week 18 in the 2022 season. That's no surprise, though, considering the Eagles have been the best team in the NFL.
Philadelphia cruised to a 48-22 road win over the New York Giants in a Week 14 matchup, becoming the first team in the league to clinch a playoff berth. The Eagles will be in the postseason for the second straight year and for the fifth time in six seasons.
There's still much to decide over the final four weeks of the regular season. All eight division titles are up for grabs, as well as the other 13 spots in the playoffs. But other teams should soon join Philadelphia in clinching berths.
It won't be the Houston Texans, Chicago Bears or Denver Broncos, as those three teams have already been eliminated from postseason contention.
Here's a look at the latest Super Bowl odds, followed by the current NFL playoff picture ahead of Monday night's Week 14 finale between the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals.

The Bills and Chiefs were each victorious on Sunday, moving closer to clinching their respective divisions. Buffalo beat the Jets and now has a two-game lead over Miami in the AFC East. Kansas City defeated Denver and remains three games ahead of Los Angeles in the AFC West.
Although it's nearly a certainty that the Bills and Chiefs will both be heading to the playoffs (likely as division champions), they'll continue to battle for the No. 1 seed down the stretch. The Ravens and Bengals are also only one game back of the top spot.
Baltimore and Cincinnati continue to battle for the AFC North lead, and each was victorious on Sunday. The Ravens beat the Steelers and the Bengals defeated the Browns. But Baltimore remains in first because of its Week 5 win over Cincinnati.
The Titans had a surprisingly bad showing on Sunday, when they fell 36-22 to the Jaguars for their third consecutive loss. However, Tennessee still has a two-game lead over Jacksonville in the AFC South.
On Sunday night, the Chargers beat the Dolphins 23-17 in a game that had a big impact on the AFC wild-card hunt. Los Angeles is in the No. 7 spot, although New York is also 7-6 after its 20-12 loss to Buffalo. Miami is still firmly at No. 6, one game ahead of the Chargers.
The Patriots need to beat the Cardinals on Monday night to pull even with the Chargers and Jets. If New England wins, it will take over the No. 7 spot, as it would own the three-way tie over Los Angeles and New York.

The Eagles continue to roll, but the Cowboys aren't letting them run away with the NFC East. Dallas came from behind to beat Houston 27-23 on Sunday, so it remains only two games back of Philadelphia in the division.
The entire NFC East remains in position to make the playoffs after Week 14, even though the Giants lost to the Eagles in a lopsided fashion. Washington (which had a bye) moved up two spots to No. 6 without playing because New York and Seattle both lost. The Commanders and Giants will play in Week 15 in a crucial matchup for the wild-card hunt.
The Vikings may have lost 34-23 to the Lions on Sunday, but they remain in control in the NFC North. Minnesota has a four-game advantage over Detroit and should still end up as the division champion.
Despite starting third-string quarterback Brock Purdy on Sunday, the 49ers cruised to a 35-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. San Francisco extended its NFC West lead to two games, thanks to Seattle's 30-24 loss to Carolina.
The Seahawks are close enough to get back into a playoff spot, though, as they're right behind the Commanders and Giants in the wild-card hunt. The Lions aren't too far back, either, after their win over the Vikings.
The NFC South is again the only division in the NFL with no teams at .500 or better. The Bucs lost to the 49ers, yet they still have a one-game lead over the Panthers and Falcons, who are both 5-8.
