The final NFL weekend is here.
Two of Florida’s NFL teams still have playoff hopes, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the best chances.
New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m., Sunday
For the Bucs, it’s simple: win and they’re in.
The Bucs lead the NFC South with a game against the Atlanta Falcons, who host the lowly Carolina Panthers, also at 1 p.m. Sunday.
If the Bucs lost and the Falcons won, Atlanta would make the playoffs based on tiebreakers, and Tampa Bay would be left out. If they both lose, the Bucs still enter.

Miami Dolphins at New York Jets, 4:25 p.m., Sunday
For the Miami Dolphins, a wild card spot comes down to the fact that they need a win against the New York Jets, while they would need the Denver Broncos to lose to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Both matches will take place on Sunday at 4:25 p.m.
The Dolphins also hold the tiebreaker against the Cincinnati Bengals, who can only make the playoffs if they win and the Dolphins and Broncos lose.
While the Dolphins will be big Chiefs fans for a day, it’s possible Kansas City places its starters with the AFC’s top seed and a bye week ends. That’s certainly what the Broncos are hoping for.
