There are only two weeks left in the 2025 regular season, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any important matchups left. There are still four spots up for grabs in 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 Eagles (10-5) will face the Bills (11-4), with both teams fighting for a playoff spot.

The Eagles have won consecutive games after suffering a three-game losing streak in late November and early December. Philadelphia is coming off wins over the Las Vegas Raiders and the Washington Commanders, but hopes to have a tougher test with Buffalo. The Eagles have already clinched the NFC East and, at worst, a top-four spot 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’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16, the Bills have clinched a playoff spot. Buffalo is still in contention for the AFC East crown to continue its five-game winning streak in the division. The Bills need to record more wins in the final two weeks than the Patriots to win the division and clinch a top-four spot in the AFC.
