It's entirely po sible that the outcome of in Santa Clara could have a number of playoff implications in the NFC, including whether or not the Niners or will earn a postseason bye week. is the only other game where the win in fewer than 58 percent of current forward-looking projections. Seattle Seahawks: 11.3 wins (projected wild card) Current record: 6-2. Projected playoff percentage: 55.1. The NFC West is still up for grabs and is most likely going to be determined by the two remaining 'Hawks-Niners matchups ( and ). One stat I calculate is win-share, with a value a signed to each player, position group and side of the ball, reflecting their production on each play. (Does the player, group or unit being evaluated help the team earn a first down or score a touchdown on offense or prevent opponents from earning first downs or scoring touchdowns on defense?) and the offense are significantly outpacing their defense in win-shares, which will be a big factor in determining their playoff potential. Philadelphia Eagles: 9.7 wins (projected NFC East champions) Current record: 4-4. Projected playoff percentage: 50.5.

Los Angeles Rams: 9.6 wins (projected wild card) Current record: 5-3. Projected playoff percentage: 52.4. After and , the ' secondary is completely different from Week 1. Their next two opponents after this week's bye are Pittsburgh and Chicago, neither of which presents premium quarterbacking play at the moment.

Minnesota's next three away games -- at Kansas City ( ), at Dallas ( ) and at Seattle ( ) -- are most likely to determine the ' playoff fate, per my model. It's worth noting that all three of the ' remaining division games are at home. Dallas Cowboys: 9.0 wins Current record: 4-3. Projected playoff percentage: 49.5. Why are the ' playoff projections lower than the ', despite ? It's because of their Ross Travis Jersey remaining win projections primarily for games in New England ( ), hosting the ( ) and in Philadelphia ( ). If the ' O-line is healthy, their win projections typically increase from 2 to 5 percent. Since the East is likely to only produce one playoff team, a small positive or negative move by the or has a big impact. Carolina Panthers: 8.4 wins Current record: 4-3. Projected playoff percentage: 46.5. 's two interceptions and six pa ses defensed are just part of the reason why he has the second-highest win-share among middle linebackers in my model so far this season. Detroit Lions: 7.9 wins Current record: 3-3-1. Projected playoff percentage: 26.8. Operating in Darrell Bevell's offense for the first time, is on pace to produce his highest win-share since 2014, when the won 11 games and earned a playoff berth. Chicago Bears: 7.1 wins Current record: 3-4. Projected playoff percentage: 37.6.

The Bucs game projects to be high-scoring, include some drama (turnovers) -- and I expect 's highest fantasy output of the season. The game features two extremely interesting quarterbacks with very different surrounding casts. Quick beware here: Kyler has two games against the Niners sandwiched around that trip to Tampa, so don't plug-and-play him any week but that one. With Thursday night's , the ' projected win total fell by Marco Wilson Jersey 0.3 and their projected playoff percentage decreased by 0.5 percent. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 5.1 wins Current record: 2-5.

New York Giants: 4.8 wins Current record: 2-6. Projected playoff percentage: 5.0. The ' year-over-year O-line rating has improved the most from last season. In all of the ways I rank O-lines (including rushing, pa sing, obvious pa sing and red area), the 2018 ' unit ranked in the mid-to-high 20s, resulting in an overall OL rating of No. 26 on the season. So far this year, the G-Men are tracking at No. 18. Atlanta Falcons: 4.1 wins Current record: 1-7. Projected playoff percentage: 3.7. The have all of their division games remaining, meaning they have the chance to play spoiler. Their only non-division games left: and . Washington Redskins: 3.1 wins Current record: 1-7.
