There are only two weeks left in the 2025 regular season, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any big matchups remaining. Four playoff spots are still up for grabs across the two conferences, but the game of the week on paper features two teams that have already clinched.

The Philadelphia Eagles will travel to face the Buffalo Bills in the penultimate week of the season. In what could be a Super Bowl preview, the 10-5 Eagles will square off against the 11-4 Bills, with both teams fighting for playoff seeding.

The Eagles have won back-to-back games after suffering a three-game losing streak at the end of November and the start of December. Philadelphia is coming off wins over the Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders, but figures to have a tougher test with Buffalo. The Eagles have already clinched the NFC East, and at worst, a top-four seed in the NFC playoffs.

The Bills have won four games in a row. Thanks to Buffalo’s narrow 23-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns, and the Indianapolis Colts losing to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16, the Bills have clinched a playoff berth. Buffalo is still in contention for the AFC East crown to continue its five-game division win streak. The Bills need to register more wins over the final two weeks than the Patriots to win the division and earn a top-four seed in the AFC.
