NFL playoff picture Week 9 includes Vikings, Lions, Bears, Packers

Who is in position to make the NFL playoffs entering the NFL Week 9 schedule?

The answer for the NFC North? Everyone.

Yes, if the NFL postseason began today, all four teams in the NFC North would be in the playoffs with the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers currently in line to earn playoff berths.

That's impressive. That's the best division in the NFL.

Take a look at the updated NFL playoff picture and NFL postseason standings after NFL Week 8.

There are eight NFL divisions, four in the NFC and four in the AFC, with each division winner earning a playoff berth in each conference along with the three non-division winners with the best records in that conference earning wild-card bids into the postseason.

The top seeds in each conference get a bye into the second round.
