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 and are 1 win or 1 Arizona loss away from clinching home field advantage.
  • The Cardinals have clinched the NFC West and are 1 win or 1 Green Bay loss from clinching a first-round bye (note, Green Bay plays Arizona this weekend).
  • The Packers have clinched a playoff spot. They need a combination of 2 wins and/or Minnesota losses to clinch their division (note: Minnesota plays Green Bay in week 17). 
  • The Seahawks have clinched a playoff spot. They will be either the #5 or #6 seed. 
  • The Falcons remain alive because they would earn a playoff spot only if Seattle and Minnesota join them in a 3-way tie at 9-7. One Seahawks win, Vikings win, or Falcons loss eliminates them and hands the Vikings a playoff berth. 
  • The Redskins clinch the NFC East with a win over the Eagles in week 16. The Eagles clinch the NFC East if they win out. The Giants can still win the NFC East if they win out and the Redskins lose out. 
  • If the current seedings hold, the NFC Wild Card games would be an exact replica of 2012's NFC Wild Card slate.
