NFL team playoff odds for 2024-25

Arizona Cardinals: The Cardinals were 6.5-point underdogs for Sunday’s trip to Buffalo. They gave the Bills a tougher-than-expected time, as the hosts had to rally from a 17-3 deficit to escape with a 34-28 win. Arizona is home in NFL Week 2 action to take on the Rams.

Atlanta Falcons: The Raheem Morris and Kirk Cousins era began with a defeat. The Falcons were 4.5-point home favorites against the Steelers but came up short in an 18-10 loss. The visitors controlled the clock and forced three turnovers as the Atlanta offense stagnated.

Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens opened their season the same way that the last one ended: with a loss to the Chiefs. Down 27-20 late, Baltimore nearly tied it at the end of regulation, but further review showed that Isaiah Likely stepped out of the end zone after hauling in a Lamar Jackson throw.

Buffalo Bills: The Bills are 1-0 following the win over the Cardinals and now look ahead to a Thursday Night Football date with the rival Dolphins. Josh Allen combined for four total TDs in the winning effort, but the turnover woes continued as he lost a fumble.

Carolina Panthers: The season opened in disastrous fashion for the Panthers and new head coach Dave Canales. Carolina was a 3.5-point road underdog versus New Orleans. The Saints cruised to an easy 47-10 victory. Next up is a home date with the 1-0 Chargers.

Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams, the first pick in the NFL Draft, struggled in his debut appearance with 93 passing yards. However, Chicago managed to battle back from a 17-0 deficit to the Titans, exiting with a 24-17 victory behind a pair of defensive and special teams TDs.

Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals were 7.5-point home favorites against the Patriots in Week 1. A 16-10 defeat has led to plenty of head-scratching in Cincinnati and concerns over the flat offensive performance. They will be in Kansas City to take on the Chiefs on Sunday.

Cleveland Browns: The Browns were two-point favorites for Sunday’s visit from the Cowboys. The spread proved to be off the mark as the visitors won 33-17, with Cleveland closing the gap with a late Jerome Ford TD run. The Browns are at the Jaguars this week.

Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys are 1-0 after the win over the Browns, and now set their sights on a visit from the Saints. Prior to Sunday’s kickoff, the team reached an extension with Dak Prescott, inking him for $240 million for an additional four years.

Denver Broncos: The Broncos suffered a 26-20 loss to the Seahawks in Week 1, just covering the spread as a 6.5-point underdog. Bo Nix had a challenging day for his debut, throwing for 138 yards and two picks while rushing for one touchdown. The Steelers come to town on Sunday.

Detroit Lions: The Lions needed overtime to escape with a 26-20 home win over the Rams. In the extra frame, David Montgomery capped off an eight-play, 70-yard scoring drive with a one-yard TD to seal the victory. Detroit will host the Buccaneers this week.

Green Bay Packers: The Packers dropped a 34-29 decision to the Eagles on Friday night, a game that took place in Brazil. Jordan Love suffered an MCL injury in the final minutes and is expected to be out for a few weeks. Malik Willis is expected under center when they take on the Colts.

Houston Texans: The Texans exited with a 29-27 road win over the Colts in Week 1. Houston’s offense has received a boost from free agent signees Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs. Mixon rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown, and Diggs hauled in a pair of C.J. Stroud TD throws.

Indianapolis Colts: A loss is a loss, but the Colts did manage to go toe-to-toe with AFC South favorite Houston. Anthony Richardson returned from last season’s shoulder injury in impressive fashion, throwing for 212 yards, two TDs, and one pick, and also rushing for a touchdown.

Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars held an early 14-0 lead on the road against Miami in Week 1, but they couldn’t hang on. The Dolphins controlled the second half to exit with a 20-17 win. Jacksonville will try to rebound on Sunday when it hosts the Browns.

Kansas City Chiefs: The Super Bowl 59 favorites kicked off the defense of their second straight title with a 27-20 home win over the Ravens in Week 1. First-round draft choice Xavier Worthy found the end zone twice, and Rashee Rice had seven receptions for 103 yards.

Las Vegas Raiders: The Raiders fell flat in a 22-10 Week 1 loss to the Chargers. New starting QB Gardner Minshew was responsible for two of three turnovers in the losing effort. Las Vegas is a heavy underdog for Sunday’s trip to take on the Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers: Jim Harbaugh celebrated a victory for his return to the NFL sidelines to start the Chargers’ season. J.K. Dobbins rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown in LA’s win over the Raiders. Los Angeles is a sizable favorite for this week’s trip to Carolina for a date with the Panthers.

Los Angeles Rams: The Rams are 0-1 after an overtime road loss to the Lions. Matthew Stafford threw for 317 yards, one TD, and one pick in the losing effort, while Cooper Kupp racked up 14 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals are up next.

Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins bring a 1-0 record into their TNF matchup with the Bills. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 338 yards and a touchdown in the team’s Week 1 win over the Jaguars. Tyreek Hill had seven receptions for 130 yards and a TD. In early NFL division odds to win the AFC East, Miami and Buffalo are battling for the top spot ahead of the Jets.

Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings opened their season with a 28-6 road win over the Giants. Sam Darnold had an efficient day under center, completing 19 of 24 for 208 yards, two TDs, and one interception. Minnesota hosts the 49ers this Sunday.

New England Patriots: The Patriots had low expectations as heavy underdogs to the Bengals in the debut of new head coach Jerod Mayo. New England proceeded to raise eyebrows with a 16-10 victory. The club will try to keep that momentum rolling when it hosts the Seahawks.

New Orleans Saints: Derek Carr and the Saints delivered one of the most impressive offensive performances of Week 1. Carr threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns as New Orleans cruised to a 47-10 win over the Panthers. Next up is a trip to face the Cowboys.

New York Giants: Sportsbooks expected a tight Week 1 game between New York and Minnesota, as the host Giants were at -1 on the spread. The spread proved to be off the mark, as the visitors picked up an easy 28-6 win. New York will attempt to get on track this week when it faces the Commanders.

New York Jets: The Jets fell to the 49ers on Monday night by a score of 32-19, missing the cover as 3.5-point road underdogs. Aaron Rodgers made his much-anticipated return to the lineup, throwing for 167 yards, one TD, and one pick. New York is at the Titans this week.

Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles opened their campaign with a 34-29 win over the Packers in Brazil. New arrival Saquon Barkley made his presence felt, racking up 132 combined yards and finding the end zone three times. Philadelphia hosts the Falcons this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Russell Wilson was unable to go for his Steelers debut, leaving Justin Fields to handle QB1 duties. Six field goals from Chris Boswell and a strong defensive effort were enough for an 18-10 win over the Falcons. A trip to face the Broncos is on tap this week.

San Francisco 49ers: Christian McCaffrey was an unexpected scratch as the 49ers welcomed the Jets. Jordan Mason stepped right in and rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown in the winning effort. San Francisco is on the road this week to take on the Vikings.

Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks kicked off the Mike Macdonald era with a 26-20 home win over the Broncos, just missing the cover as 6.5-point favorites. Geno Smith threw for one touchdown, and Kenneth Walker rushed in another. A trip to face the Patriots is up next.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Buccaneers opened their campaign with a 37-20 win over the visiting Commanders, easily covering the spread as 3.5-point favorites. Baker Mayfield completed 24 of 30 for 289 yards and four TDs as the Tampa Bay offense clicked in Week 1.

Tennessee Titans: The Titans held an early 17-0 lead over the Bears, but that would prove to be Tennessee’s high point of the game. Chicago controlled the action the rest of the way to exit with a 24-17 home win. Tennessee is home on Sunday to face the Jets.

Washington Commanders: Dan Quinn opened his Commanders’ tenure with a road loss to the Buccaneers. It was also the debut of first-round draft pick Jayden Daniels. He threw for 184 yards, rushed for another 88, and found the end zone twice.

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, online sportsbooks 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.
