Updated NFL playoff picture

The Patriots are headed to the playoffs, but who will they play? Here's a look at New England's potential playoff opponents.
Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped a potential playoff- and AFC North-clinching game Sunday, falling 13-6 on the road to Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns.
The NFL playoff picture has largely taken shape, with 11 of the 14 playoff berths clinched. And the other three playoff berths could all be clinched by Sunday. We already know that six of the NFC playoff teams will be the Seahawks, Bears, Eagles, 49ers, Rams and Packers. The seventh NFC playoff team will be either the Panthers or Buccaneers.
Notable odds: The Colts are on the brink of elimination, with just a 2% shot at the playoffs, according to the Athletic, following Monday's loss to the 49ers. A Texans victory on Saturday vs. the Chargers will end the Colts' season.
Week 17 in the NFL already has five games in the books from three Christmas Day games and two on Saturday. The Sunday schedule starts with seven games kicking off at 1 p.m. ET. That gives you seven shots at making a little money on the outcome of those contests.
