The final week of the 2019 NFL regular season is upon us, with two playoff tickets and the NFC's homefield advantage still up for grabs.

San Francisco and Seattle will face off to decide the NFC West, and Philadelphia control their own fate, with a win securing the NFC East and a playoff spot.

In the AFC, New England can secure the second seed with a win over Miami, and Tennessee, Pittsburgh and Oakland have their eye on the final playoff ticket.

Here is a look at the Week 17 matchups, complete with odds, over/under lines and picks (all odds courtesy of Caesars, picks in bold):

Cleveland Browns (-2.5) at Cincinnati Bengals (O/U 43.5)

Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots (-16.5) (O/U 44.5)

Chicago Bears (-3.0) at Minnesota Vikings (O/U 36.0)

L.A. Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (-9.0) (O/U 46.0)

New York Jets at Buffalo Bills (-1) (O/U 36.5)

Green Bay Packers (-12.5) at Detroit Lions (O/U 43.5)

New Orleans Saints (-13.5) at Carolina Panthers (O/U 45.0)

Atlanta Falcons (even) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (O/U 47.5)

Philadelphia Eagles (-3.5) at New York Giants (O/U 45.0)

Tennessee Titans (-6.0) at Houston Texans (O/U 44.5)

Washington at Dallas Cowboys (-11.0) (O/U 45.5)

Pittsburgh Steelers (-2.0) at Baltimore Ravens (O/U 37.0)

Indianapolis Colts (-5.0) at Jacksonville Jaguars (O/U 41.5)

Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos (-3/5) (O/U 41.0)

Arizona Cardinals at L.A. Rams (-6) (O/U 44.5)

San Francisco 49ers (-3.5) at Seattle Seahawks (O/U 46.0)

The Titans are in control of the final AFC playoff spot entering Week 17, needing a win against the rival Texans to secure their ticket.

They have the same 8-7 record as Pittsburgh but hold the tie-breaker between the two. The Steelers face Baltimore, who have already secured the top seed and are likely to take it easy in the final week, with several starters seeing little or no action.

Even Oakland can still make it into the postseason, albeit with a lot of help:

Hard as it is to believe, the Raiders have a path to the playoffs. Here’s what would have to happen in Week 17:

🏈Raiders beat Broncos
🏈Ravens beat Steelers
🏈Texans beat Titans
🏈Colts beat Jaguars

If those four things happen next Sunday, the Raiders make it as a wild card.

Houston could still overtake Kansas City for the fourth seed, but the Chiefs are clear favorites against the Chargers and unlikely to lose that game. Expect the Texans to also hand some of their starters some rest, opening the door for Tennessee to clinch.

The 49ers can clinch their own division and the NFC's top seed with a win over Seattle on Sunday, arguably the most impactful match of the week. If San Francisco loses, the Seahawks could land anywhere between the first and third seed, with Green Bay and New Orleans in the mix for a first-round bye.

Here are the possibilities:

Minnesota is now locked in.

49ers: #1, #5
Saints: #1, #2, #3
Seahawks: #1, #2, #3, #5
Packers: #1, #2, #3
Vikings: #6 https://t.co/tzOIBqbf9A

The loser of the battle for the NFC West will land as the fifth seed, setting up a date with the NFC East winner. The Eagles can secure that final playoff spot with a win in New York, while Dallas have to beat Washington and hope the Giants pull through.
