We've finally arrived at the final week of the 2024 NFL season.

Week 18 is always a bit of a strange one on the NFL. Many teams are already eliminated from the playoffs and there are also several playoff teams who are already locked into their postseason seed, making for plenty of "meaningless" games.

With that in mind, there are also a few pivotal games set to take place, including an NFC North battle between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings that will not only decide the division, but the winner will also be the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The game has been flexed to the Sunday Night Football spot in Week 18, serving as the final game of the regular season.

The NFC South will still need to be decided. If the Buccaneers beat the Saints on Sunday, they'll be crowned NFC South champs for the fourth straight season. If the Buccaneers lose and the Falcons beat the Panthers, Atlanta will slide into that spot.

The AFC North is another division that's still up for grabs. If the Ravens beat the Browns or the Steelers lose to the Bengals in Week 18, Baltimore will repeat as division champs. If both the Ravens lose and the Steelers win, Pittsburgh will win the division and host a playoff game. Both AFC North matchups will take place on Saturday.

There's still plenty of drama for the No. 7 spot in the AFC as well. The Broncos need to beat the Chiefs in the final week to lock up a spot. If they lose, the Dolphins get in with a win against the Jets. If both the Broncos and Dolphins lose, the Bengals can get in with a win against the Steelers. If all three teams lose, Denver will back into the final playoff spot.
