Depending on when the regular season starts, NFL Week 15 generally falls around the middle of the month of December. By this time, the teams that are at the top of their respective divisions may have already secured home field advantage and/or a bye week (a week off) in the NFL Playoffs. At this point, teams that are still on the bubble may have a shot at getting in the postseason via an NFL wild card game.
