NFL teams with the most playoff appearances

The NFL can be cyclical, as teams go through ebbs and flows of contention. On an all-time basis, the Cowboys and Packers are the current leaders with 35 playoff appearances each, while the Texans are last with six. Here are the totals for all 32 teams and what happened during their most recent playoff trip:

How to bet on NFL playoff futures

During the offseason, betting sites will release the odds for each team’s chances to make the playoffs. Betting will begin then and can continue as the odds shift and remain available for much of the season.

To make the playoffs: Dallas Cowboys

• Yes -250
• No +195

For the above example, odds of -250 for “yes” indicate that the sportsbook sees it as more likely that Dallas makes it to the postseason, as do the +195 odds for “no.”

However, the preseason odds won’t always be correct. There’s regular turnover in NFL playoff participants from season to season. What the odds do provide, though, is a realistic set of expectations for all 32 teams.

For some clubs, the postseason odds will hover around -110 for both choices, similar to a spread or total bet. The span between the numbers can be much wider for other teams, just like what you find in some moneyline bets.

As a season-long wager, the bet requires a long-term perspective, as your funds will remain tied up until there’s an outcome. Beyond the chance to win some money if your bet is correct, NFL playoff futures can give you something else to root for as the season progresses.

NFL postseason format

Beginning with the 2020 season, the NFL expanded the playoff field from 12 to 14 teams. It was the first such expansion since 1990 and included several notable changes. Here’s how the format works:

• The four division winners (East, North, South and West) from the AFC and NFC automatically qualify, for a total of eight teams.
• The remaining six spots go to wild card teams — three from each conference.
• Tiebreakers will determine qualifiers and seeds as necessary.
• The postseason tournament is single-elimination. Winners advance, and losers go home.
• Teams are seeded one through seven in both conferences, with the top seed receiving a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
• The playoffs begin with Wild Card Weekend. There are six games in total, three each on the AFC and NFC sides, with winners advancing.
• Next is the Divisional Round — four games, two on each side of the bracket, with winners advancing.
• The final four teams square off in the AFC and NFC title games. The winners advance to play in the Super Bowl.
