AFC / NFC

Odds to Make NFL Playoffs for AFC Teams

The current NFL playoff odds suggest five of the seven teams who made the postseason last year will return again this season. The teams out from last year are the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. Their odds of making the postseason have taken a hit with Joe Burrow expected to be fully healthy this coming season. Those two teams are being replaced in the odds by Burrow’s Bengals and the New York Jets, who are also expecting their star quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, to return.

AFC Playoff Odds

The Kansas City Chiefs are given the best odds to make the playoffs among AFC teams, but also in the NFL right now too. The Chiefs are listed at -600 odds to get back into the postseason, which implies an 85.7% probability. If you bet $20 on KC to make the playoffs, you would only stand to win $3.33 and return $23.33.

The team with the worst odds to make the playoffs in the AFC is the New England Patriots, who are given +900 odds. That comes out to a 10% chance for New England to get into the postseason, while a $20 bet would potentially profit $180 and return $200.

Here are some notes on the NFL playoff odds movement:

• [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

The NFL playoff odds say five of the seven teams who made the playoffs last year will get in again in 2024-25. Those five teams include the 49ers, Lions, Eagles, Cowboys, and Packers. The two teams who made the playoffs last year who are not among the top seven in playoff odds this year are the Buccaneers and Rams. Those two teams see themselves leaped in the odds by the Falcons, who made a big splash by signing Kirk Cousins in free agency, and Bears, who have loaded up on offense around first-overall pick Caleb Williams.

NFC Playoff Odds

The San Francisco 49ers currently have the best odds among NFC teams to make the 2024-25 NFL playoffs. San Francisco’s -525 odds imply an 84% probability of the 49ers making the postseason. A $20 bet on them would only win $3.81 and return 23.81.

The team with the worst odds to make the playoffs in the NFC is the Carolina Panthers with +550 odds. This means Carolina only has a 15.4% chance to make the playoffs, and a $20 bet on them to get in would win $110 and return $130.

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).
