Odds to Make NFL Playoffs for AFC Teams
The current NFL playoff odds suggest two of the seven teams who made the postseason last year will miss this season. The Cleveland Browns, who made the playoffs last year, have been eliminated for a while, but the Dolphins are still alive. However, the odds suggest the Broncos will get the final spot over them.

The Broncos are the favorites to take the final playoff spot in the AFC. They are given -550 odds to get in. Though Cincinnati may be playing the best football of the three AFC teams competing for the last wild card spot, they have the longest odds to get in.

Here are some notes on the NFL playoff odds movement:
- [December 31] The Broncos are still heavily favored to get the final AFC playoff spot. Denver lost to the Bengals in Week 17, keeping Cincinnati’s season alive, but get Kansas City’s backups in Week 18.
- [December 17] AFC playoff odds were heavily favoring both the Broncos and Chargers to get into the playoffs after Week 15. Denver beat Indianapolis in Week 15, while the Dolphins also lost.
- [November 19] After a Week 12 win over the Falcons, the Broncos saw their playoff odds improve dramatically, moving from +192 to -114. This marked the first time the Broncos had better odds to make the playoffs than miss them this season.
- [October 22] Following Week 7, the Bengals moved back to having better odds to make the playoffs than to miss them. This is the first time Cincinnati has been favored to get in since prior to Week 3.
- [October 15] The Jets’ acquisition of Davante Adams was not enough to overcome the loss to the Bills in Week 6 from the lens of sportsbooks. New York’s odds to make the playoffs went from +112 to +150, though could have likely fallen off even further if not for the Adams trade. The Chargers saw a massive boost to their playoff odds after beating the Broncos in Week 6, moving from +119 to -175.
- [September 24] After an 0-3 start, the Bengals have better odds to miss the playoffs than to make the playoffs for the first time this season. Though, their odds only went from -138 to +115.
- [September 17] Even after an 0-2 start, sportsbooks still give the Ravens -145 odds to make the playoffs. Though, those odds are a fair bit worse than the -243 odds they had prior to Week 2. Miami’s playoff odds plummeted from -213 to +115 following their blowout loss to the Bills, but the bigger factor is Tua Tagovailoa’s uncertain future after another concussion.
- [September 9] The Bengals were arguably the biggest disappointment of Week 1, losing outright to the Patriots. Their playoff odds have faded from -235 to -125 in the wake of the loss. New England’s odds to make the playoffs only improved slightly, going from +980 to +700. Sportsbooks obviously believe this was more of a bad game by the Bengals than the Pats showing us anything promising.
- [September 3] After plenty of training camp hype around how Deshaun Watson has looked throwing the ball, we have seen Cleveland’s odds to make the playoffs improve significantly from +143 to -142.
- [June 21] Bettors felt like the Chargers were being a little overhyped and became a very popular bet to miss the playoffs, according to BetMGM. The result in LA’s odds to make the playoffs was fading a little from -110 to +110.
- [April 29] After trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans and then drafting Keon Coleman, who is believed to be pretty raw, the Bills saw their playoff odds move from -300 to -203.
- [March 27] The following seven teams have opened with the best odds to make the playoffs among AFC teams: the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, and New York Jets. The Jets and Bengals are the only two teams in that list who did not make the playoffs last year. The two teams who did make last year’s playoffs and are not among the top seven in odds to make it back this year are the Browns and Steelers. This is largely a result of Joe Burrow returning for the Bengals.

Odds to Make Playoffs for NFC Teams
Two NFC teams who made the playoffs last season have been eliminated from playoff contention this season: the 49ers and Cowboys. They have been replaced by the Vikings and Commanders. Tampa Bay could become the third team, but the odds heavily favor them making the playoffs again.

---|---|---|---|
Detroit Lions | NFC North | N/A | N/A |
Philadelphia Eagles | NFC East | N/A | N/A |

Green Bay Packers | NFC North | N/A | N/A |

Seattle Seahawks | NFC West | N/A | N/A |
Arizona Cardinals | NFC West | N/A | N/A |
San Francisco 49ers | NFC West | N/A | N/A |
Dallas Cowboys | NFC East | N/A | N/A |

Carolina Panthers | NFC South | N/A | N/A |
Chicago Bears | NFC North | N/A | N/A |
New York Giants | NFC East | N/A | N/A |
The Detroit Lions had the best odds among NFC teams to make the 2024-25 NFL playoffs. Detroit’s -10000 odds after Week 10 implied a 99% probability of the Lions making the postseason. But sportsbooks have now pulled them off the board, as they have clinched a playoff spot
Every team above with “N/A” for both columns has either clinched a playoff spot or has been eliminated from postseason contention. The only two teams still competing for a playoff spot in the NFC are the Bucs and Falcons.

Here are some notes on the NFL playoff odds movement:
- [December 31] The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter Week 18 heavily favored to get the final NFC playoff spot. Atlanta is the only other team still alive, but need the Bucs to lose to the Saints.
- [December 17] The Rams went from +150 odds to make the playoffs to -165 after Week 15, when they beat the 49ers and Seahawks lost.
- [November 19] After another divisional loss in Week 11, the 49ers were no longer favored to make the playoffs for the first time this season. San Francisco’s playoff odds plummeted from -198 to +200, giving them the ninth-best odds at this time.
- [November 5] Dallas’ average odds to make the playoffs plummeted from +268 ahead of Week 9 to as long as +1100 after their game, in which Dak Prescott injured his hamstring, and will require a stint on the IR.
- [October 8] After a narrow victory over the Steelers in Week 5, Dallas’ NFL playoff odds favored them missing the postseason for the first time this season. The Cowboys are -115 to miss versus -105 to make the playoffs. Washington moved from +128 odds to make the playoffs to -150 after blowing out the Browns in Week 5.
- [October 1] The Vikings’ NFL playoff odds improved from -188 to -500, which were the best in the NFC at this time, after beating the Packers in Green Bay in Week 4.
- [September 24] After the 49ers dropped another game, moving their record to 1-2, the Eagles overtook them for the best odds to make the playoffs among NFC teams. Surprisingly, the Cowboys still have better odds to make the playoffs than to miss them, in spite of their horrible first three weeks of the season.
- [September 17] The Buccaneers’ playoff odds improved from +120 to -200 after they upset the Lions in Week 2. The Vikings, who upset the 49ers, surprisingly still have better odds to miss the playoffs than to make them.
- [September 10] Not only did the Packers lose in Week 1, but they have reportedly lost Jordan Love to a knee injury for anywhere between 3-6 weeks. Green Bay’s playoff odds have gone from -170 to +180 as a result. The Falcons didn’t suffer any major injuries in Week 1, but their offense, specifically Kirk Cousins, did not look good. Their odds to make the playoffs went from -215 to -125 after losing to the Steelers.
- [July 24] All major sportsbooks have disclosed how much the public likes the Carolina Panthers this season with new head coach Dave Canales. Carolina’s playoff odds opened at +900 but have reached +550 as more bets continue to come in on the Panthers.
- [March 27] 2024-25 NFL playoff odds have opened and the seven NFC teams favored to get in are: the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears(!). The LA Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both of whom made the playoffs last year, are notably given better odds to miss the playoffs this coming season.
NFL Playoffs FAQ
How many teams make the NFL playoffs?
Fourteen teams - seven each from the NFC and AFC - qualify for the NFL playoffs. The top team in each conference gets a bye to the Divisional Round. The remaining six teams play one-game Wild Card matchups to fill the remaining three Divisional Round berths in each conference.
When do the NFL playoffs start?
This season's NFL playoffs start on January 11, 2025, and end with the Super Bowl on Feb. 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
How does OT work in the NFL playoffs?
The new NFL playoff overtime rules mandate that each team gets a chance to possess the ball. If the teams are still tied after each has had one OT possession, the OT period becomes sudden death (next points of any kind win).
