A quick primer on what all of this information is:Team, W(ins), L(osses), T(ies), and Pct (winning percentage) are all self-explanatory. 
The Conference and Division records are separated into separate columns for Wins/Losses/Ties. This was purely a formatting move designed to help me update the tables more efficiently. 
PF - Points For (points scored by the team for the season)
PA - Points Against (points scored by the team's opponents for the season)
Pythag% - Pythagorean winning percentage - this is based on PF and PA
RoS SOS - Rest of Season Strength of Schedule 

Interesting bits of information:
  • The Panthers have clinched a playoff bye.
  • The Cardinals have clinched a playoff spot, and are 1 win or Seattle loss away from clinching the division. They also currently have an edge on the Seahawks for the division even if they lose out and Seattle wins out, based on strength of victory. 
  • The main races remaining are the NFC North and NFC East races:
    • NFC North
      • The Packers have a one-game edge on the Vikings and have head-to-head, but these two teams play again in week 17, and if both win out until then and Minnesota wins that matchup, the Vikings will take the division thanks to a better division record (5-1 vs 4-2)
    • NFC East
      • The division will likely come down to head-to-head, divisional record, or record against common opponents. 
      • Washington is 2-2 in the division, 1-0 vs PHI, and 1-1 vs NYG. The Redskins would currently lose the common opponent tiebreaker against both the Eagles (3-7 vs 6-5) and the Giants (3-6 vs 4-6)
      • Philadelphia is 2-2 in the division, 0-1 vs WAS, and 1-0 vs NYG. The Eagles would currently win the common opponent tiebreaker against the Redskins (6-5 vs 3-7) and draw with the Giants (5-6 vs 5-6).
      • New York is 2-3 in the division, 1-1 vs WAS, and 0-1 vs PHI. The Giants would currently win the common opponent tiebreaker against the Redskins (4-6 vs 3-6) and draw with the Eagles (5-6 vs 5-6).
  • The Giants have the most difficult remaining schedule among NFC playoff hopefuls. The Redskins have the easiest remaining schedule among those in the NFC playoff picture.
