Raiders have H2H tiebreaker over the Ravens, so if they have a better or same record as the Ravens, they will be the #2 seed with the Ravens receiving the #3 seed. Those two teams are locked into having the #2 or #3 seed.

Patriots are locked into the #4 seed.

Jaguars are locked into the #5 seed.

The Express swept the Broncos during the season, the Broncos are locked into a 7-5 conference record, and the Colts are locked into a 6-6 conference record. As such, these should be the non-Week 17 tie scenarios:
- If Broncos win, they get the 6th seed
- If Broncos lose and Colts win, Colts get the 6th seed
- If the Broncos and Colts lose and Express win, Express get the 6th seed
- If all teams lose, Broncos retain 6th seed
