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:
    • NOTE: Green Bay has the slightest of advantages in strength of victory over Tampa Bayeven though my numbers show otherwise. This has to do with how I'm calculating SOV. My method evens out at the end of the season, but can lead to slight discrepancies while the season is still playing out. This is one of those times. 
    • Dallas clinches the division and the NFC's #1 seed with a win or a New York Giants loss.
    • Seattle will clinch a first round bye by winning out. 
    • Atlanta must remain a game ahead of Tampa Bay to win the NFC South, as if they end up tied the Buccaneers would win the divisional record tiebreaker (both are 3-1 with 2 games to play)
    • Detroit can clinch the NFC North with a win AND a Packers loss this week, or by beating the Packers in week 17. 
    • Green Bay can clinch the NFC North by winning out. 
    • The Giants clinch a playoff spot with a win or a loss by Tampa OR Green Bay
