The game says that the Cowboys and Giants have clinched playoff berths. I can never trust Madden, so I am dismissing their claims until I see the playoff schedule.

The game says that the Bucs have not clinched the NFC South, but it is impossible for them to not have a better record than the Falcons, so they should win the NFC South.

They are listing the Lions as being the NFC North leaders when by all accounts it should be the Vikings. I believe that the Vikings control their own destiny and make the playoffs in some capacity as long as they win. The Lions, who are undefeated at home, could miss out on the playoffs if they lose at home to the Lightning (coming off a 44 point shutout) and the Vikings win. They would have an identical conference record with the Falcons (if the Falcons do win against the Chiefs to get to 10-6). It might go to record in like games after that, but I'm not going to spend time looking into that.

The Falcons might actually be eliminated since I haven't discovered any sort of tiebreaker they might hold over potential playoff teams in 3+ team scenarios, but I am far from certain. They would need for the Lions and Pumpkins to lose (obviously) and in that scenario would prevent the head-to-head loss to the Pumpkins from becoming a factor.

The Pumpkins are eliminated if they lose. They would either have a 1-on-1 battle with the Lions or a 3+ way with the Falcons. They would lose both tiebreaker scenarios due to an inferior conference record.

Sorry if these ramblings are incoherent. The NFC is all sorts of more crazy than AFC in terms of their playoff scenarios. Almost all the seedings are wide open races as well.
