Sorry if this has been posted. Found this interesting playoff implications tool at FiveThirtyEight.com for week 14:

It's an interactive table to see how this weekend's match-ups impact each team's chances to make playoffs, win division, get a bye or get #1 seed. As far as playoff implications go, our game with the Eagles is the most impactful in the NFC.

They currently have Seattle at a 72% chance to make playoffs. If we win, our chance to make playoffs improves by 12.6%:

Beating the Eagles pushes us from 53% to 63% chance to win the division:

You can get the swings for each team and any game by selecting the matchup with the team impacted. I've never seen anything like this. Direct link to NFC table:

This is a fantastic site. As well a great nickname for parts of your body "want to see my FiveThirtyEight playoff tool?"
