NFL 2023 playoff picture, standings after Week 13: Packers have NFC No. 7 spot, Bengals back in hunt after win

The 2023 NFL season has entered December, with the focus shifting to the wild playoff races in each conference. Four teams are tied for the final playoff spot in both the AFC and NFC, with six teams separated by a game for the final playoff spot in each conference.

The NFC South is on pace to be the worst division in history (in terms of win percentage), as the Atlanta Falcons lead the division with a 6-6 record. That division should certainly come down to the wire with the way the teams are playing. 

The playoff races are heating up, and below you can find a division-by-division breakdown of the current standings and what each contender is facing heading into Week 14.
