There are only three weeks left in the NFL season, and the race for the last few playoff spots is intense. Yet the scheduling for Week 15 worked out so that theres only one game with major in-or-out ramifications for both teams: Lions at Giants. Detroit is almost guaranteed a spot with a victory (98.4 percent odds), and the Giants would be pretty close (93.8 percent odds). A loss would drop each teams odds a lot closer to 50-50.However, nearly every other game has at least one team that is either virtually assured a playoff spot or is completely out of the running.Tennessees playoff odds are much stronger with a win in Kansas City on Sunday, but the Chiefs are pretty much in whether they win or lose. Thats also the situation in Denver, where the Broncos desperately need to beat the Patriots to stay in the race for the second AFC wild card, but New England will still be AFC favorites even with a loss.Other teams who still arent sure theyre in for January are playing teams that are way out of it. Atlanta, Baltimore, Green Bay, Houston, Miami, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Washington all play against teams that currently have playoff odds under 2 percent.Theres only one exception, one other game between two teams with a slight glimmer of hope for playing in January: Indianapolis at Minnesota, where the loser is toast but the winner still has a small chance of taking a division title -- as long as two other teams go on nice losing streaks.Youll find our playoff odds for every team still in the hunt below.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals have reached a contract agreement with first-round draft pick Jonathan Cooper. The four-year deal is worth about $14.5 million, the maximum allowed under the NFL collective bargaining agreement for Cooper as the seventh pick overall. The 6-foot-2, 311-pound guard from North Carolina missed the first two days of training camp, when the team worked out in shorts. He was en route to Arizona and also missed Sundays practice, the teams first in pads. He was expected to practice Monday. Cooper had worked out at left guard with the starting unit through the off-season. The agreement leaves two first-round picks unsigned -- cornerback Dee Milliner of the New York Jets (ninth pick overall) and guard Chance Warmack of the Tennessee Titans (10th). Arizona coach Bruce Arians got word of the contract agreement when a note was passed to him during his daily briefing with reporters on Sunday. "Just got word that Jonathan Cooper is done and is on his way," Arians said. "He still missed time, but Im a lot happier now. Were excited to have him in and watch him run the conditioning test -- in front of the whole team." Although Cooper did miss a bit of training camp, his off-season work leaves him familiar with whats expected of him. "He got a zillion reps," Arians said. He joins an offensive unit that was calledd out for poor play by its coach on Sunday.dddddddddddd. "Thats the disappointing thing to me right now," Arians said. "Its not like our guys didnt have plenty of reps, because we had two practices going on during all of OTAs. Theres no excuses right now for making the mental errors that were making on offence." The coach has declared competition for the two starting tackle jobs -- Levi Brown and Nate Potter on the left side, newcomer Eric Winston and Bobby Massie on the right. Daryn Colledge has moved from left to right guard with Lyle Sendlein at centre. "Im very disappointed right now with the play up front," he said. "Way too many mental errors. The physical part well start seeing this afternoon. Weve got to get better. I think that theyve got enough pride that theyre going to fix it. I think theyre anxious to get pads on. Of all the people that get hurt playing in shorts, its the big guys." Cooper, a first-team Associated Press All-American, started a school-record 48 games at left guard for North Carolina and earned the 2012 Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the best lineman in the SEC. He is the first guard taken in the top eight of the draft since 1982, when Mike Munchak was selected by the Houston Oilers as the eighth overall pick. In a draft loaded with players up front, Cooper was the fifth lineman selected. ' ' '
