Week 15 of the 2023 NFL season is here, and playoff positioning is on the line for a handful of teams.
There will be a number of attractive matchups in which teams can solidify their playoff positioning or increase their odds of finishing first in their division.
The one team that has already clinched a playoff spot is the San Francisco 49ers, who are 10-3, have a five-game winning streak, and are currently the favorite to win the Super Bowl.
They will face the Arizona Cardinals, who are 3-10 and have nothing to play for, on Sunday, and a win would clinch a first-place finish in the NFC West for them.
Per Pro Football Focus, four more teams can clinch playoff spots of their own this weekend.
Those teams are the Cowboys, Eagles, Lions, and Ravens per PFF.

The Dallas Cowboys will visit the Buffalo Bills, a team that is 7-6 and hanging by a thread to their own playoff hopes, on Sunday.
The Cowboys, like the 49ers, are 10-3, but they’re in a fierce battle with the Philadelphia Eagles for first place in the NFC East.
A win would clinch a playoff spot for Dallas and also get them one step closer to winning the division.
If the Eagles defeat the Seattle Seahawks on Monday, they will guarantee themselves a playoff spot.
The Detroit Lions have made the postseason just three times this century, but by defeating the Denver Broncos on Sunday, they will return there for the first time since 2016.
Meanwhile, the 10-3 Baltimore Ravens would clinch a playoff berth by getting a win on the road versus the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend.
