NFL Week 17 open thread

The final Sunday of the NFL regular season has arrived. The playoff picture is still not completely clear.  There are three division titles up for grabs today: the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers will decide the NFC North champion at Lambeau Field; the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals will decide the AFC North winner in Pittsburgh; and, last but certainly not least (okay, maybe it is least in the eyes of many), the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers will play for the honor of NFC South champion and being the second sub-.500 division winner in NFL history.  As for wild card playoff spots, the San Diego Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, and Kansas City Chiefs all remain alive in the AFC.  The Chargers are the only team of the four to control their own destiny: if San Diego wins at Kansas City, they're in.  For all of your playoff scenarios, including who can clinch first round byes and how, see here.

Also of interest to some might be the San Francisco 49ers matchup with the Arizona Cardinals today.  True, the 49ers are not going to the playoffs.  But the worst kept secret in football is that this will be Jim Harbaugh's final game as the 49ers' head coach.  Where will he be next year? Another NFL team? Or will the University of Michigan convince him to return to college coaching?

UPDATE: Multiple sources report that Jim Harbaugh will, indeed, become the new head coach at the University of Michigan.

However, FOX's Jay Glazer and ESPN's Adam Schefter have both reported that Harbaugh to Michigan is not yet a "done deal." Stay tuned!
