Washington controls their own destiny, and are in the playoffs with a win or losses by Minnesota and New Orleans. Their game is against Dallas, but Dallas has clinched the #1 seed, so who knows how hard they'll be trying.
Minnesota is in the playoffs with a win and a Washington loss.
New Orleans is in the playoffs with a win, a Minnesota loss, and a Washington loss.
In Tennessee vs. Cleveland, there's this weird situation where the team that wins the tiebreaker is dependent on whether they're tied at 9-7 or at 10-6. If they finish at 10-6, then they're tied at 7-5 in conference, and Tennessee takes it by virtue of their 4-1 record in common games (Cleveland was 3-2 vs the Jets, Bengals, Texans, and Raiders, the common teams in question). If they both finish 9-7, then Cleveland gets the tiebreaker with their 7-5 conference record (Tennessee would have a 6-6 conference record in this case).
So it's Tennessee who controls their own destiny, needing a win to take the last playoff spot. If they lose, however, then Cleveland takes the spot. Baring a tie, Cleveland's last game against San Francisco is irrelevant.
CURRENT 1ST ROUND DRAFT ORDER (as always, remember that the order for playoff teams can and will change depending on how they do in the post-season, In fact, this exact order is impossible as the NFC Super Bowl representative will be either #31 or #32. This number may differ from some sources, as it includes all 16 games. Some sources only count SOS for games that have already been played.)
#1: Miami (1-14)
#2: St. Louis (3-12, 123 SOS)
#3: New York Jets (3-12, 126 SOS)
#4: Atlanta (3-12, 127 SOS)
#5: Kansas City (4-11, 122 SOS)
#6: Oakland (4-11, 123 SOS)
#7: Baltimore (4-11, 124 SOS)
#8: San Francisco (5-10) New England
