There are 16 games left in the N.F.L. season — and 65,536 different ways the season could end. With so few games left, the remaining possibilities have winnowed to a small enough number that we can start to list them exhaustively, depicting each team’s possible paths as the branches of a tree.

The charts below list the full range of outcomes for teams that are in or have a shot at the playoffs. Some teams’ trees are relatively tidy, while others’ – like the Lions’ – are more convoluted. But we think they’re both helpful and fun. Note: We did not include ties, which exponentially increase the charts’ complexity, because teams rarely tie.

Atlanta Falcons Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Falcons have a lot riding on their game against the Saints this week. A win would guarantee them the No. 2 seed in the N.F.C. and a first-round bye. A loss means no bye week unless the Packers beat the Lions and then the 49ers beat the Seahawks in the late game. Explore all of the Falcons’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Dallas Cowboys Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Cowboys have clinched the No. 1 seed in the N.F.C. and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Explore all of the Cowboys’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Detroit Lions Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Lions, who lost to the Cowboys on the road Monday night, have the biggest range in their possible playoff outcomes of any team. A win on Sunday plus a 49ers win over the Seahawks and a Saints upset over the Falcons would give the Lions the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. But Detroit’s loss on Monday means that another loss against the Packers plus a Redskins win over the Giants would leave the Lions out of the postseason. Explore all of the Lions’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Green Bay Packers Games to watch Pinch to zoom Five consecutive wins have left the Packers in good position, after they opened the season 4-6. A win against the Lions on Sunday would clinch the N.F.C. North title for the Packers, but a loss plus a Redskins win over the Giants would leave Green Bay missing out on the postseason altogether. Explore all of the Packers’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Houston Texans Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Texans have clinched the No. 4 seed in the A.F.C. They will open the playoffs at home against either the Dolphins or (more likely) the second-place finisher in the A.F.C. West. Explore all of the Texans’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Kansas City Chiefs Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Chiefs’ win against the Broncos in Week 16 guaranteed them a spot in the postseason: The question now is whether they will open the playoffs on the road or with a bye week. Most scenarios end with a wild-card berth, but a win this week plus a Raiders loss would give the Chiefs the No. 2 seed in the A.F.C. Explore all of the Chiefs’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Miami Dolphins Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Dolphins are in the playoffs, having clinched one of the A.F.C.’s two wild-card spots. They will open the playoffs on the road against the Texans or the Steelers. Explore all of the Dolphins’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

New York Giants Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Giants have clinched the No. 5 seed in the N.F.C. Their loss to the Eagles on Thursday removed any chance of securing a bye week. They will open the playoffs on the road against the worst-ranked division winner in the N.F.C. — most likely the Seahawks or the winner of the N.F.C. North. Explore all of the Giants’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Oakland Raiders Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Raiders have clinched a playoff berth, and they can clinch a bye week with a win over the Broncos. But a loss in Denver and a Chiefs win over the Chargers would give the Chiefs, not the Raiders, the A.F.C. West title and the bye, leaving Oakland starting the playoffs on the road. Explore all of the Raiders’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Pittsburgh Steelers Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Steelers have clinched the No. 3 seed in the A.F.C. and will open the playoffs at home against either the second-place finisher in the A.F.C. West or (more likely) the Dolphins. Explore all of the Steelers’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Seattle Seahawks Games to watch Pinch to zoom The Seahawks have clinched the N.F.C. West and will host their first playoff game regardless of the outcome of the remaining games. The Cowboys’ win over the Lions on Monday night moved Seattle one step closer to a first-round bye. Now all they need is a win on Sunday plus a Saints victory over the Falcons. Explore all of the Seahawks’ playoff scenarios in our simulator.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Games to watch Pinch to zoom The loss to New Orleans on Saturday leaves the Bucs with an almost impossible path to the playoffs. To sneak in, they need nine games to go their way — including a tie in the Redskins-Giants game. (Since our diagrams are not equipped to handle ties, we can’t even show you how the Bucs can still get into the playoffs, but it’s technically still possible.)
