*odds as of November 19, 2024
Update as of November 19, 2024
More and more teams are starting to fall off the odds board when it comes to playoff odds, and about half of those teams are off for a good reason, while the rest should start looking at the odds to win the first pick in the draft. Teams like Buffalo, Kansas City, Detroit, and Philadelphia have all but secured a spot in the postseason, as they are more in the conversation for which teams will secure the #1 seed in the conference.
Meanwhile, there are a few teams that people would be a plus sign associated with their odds prior to the season. One of the biggest examples is the San Francisco 49ers, who are (+168) or higher to make the playoffs after their loss to the Seahawks. Out of all the teams in the league, the 49ers opened with the second-best odds to make the playoffs before the season started, and now they have their work cut out for them to sneak in.
Of course, there are also quite a few teams "in the hunt" who have seen their odds move a lot during the season. The Broncos are an excellent example, as they've gone in the opposite direction of the 49ers. Denver opened the year at (+500) to make the postseason, but after a stellar performance by Bo Nix over the Falcons, the Broncos can be found at (-125) to get a playoff bid.
Update as of November 5, 2024
We have officially cleared the halfway mark in the NFL, which means the postseason hunt will only become more intense. The clock is ticking for teams to turn their season around and make a playoff push. While a few struggling teams seem to be already waving the white flag, like the Saints, there are teams like the Seahawks who still have the talent to reach the playoffs.
Before the season, the Seahawks had (+175) odds to make the playoffs, but after a loss to the Rams at home, Seattle is now (+550) or higher. Of course, Seattle is not the only team that has seen a quick exit from the playoff picture. Another prime example is the Chicago Bears, who were (-115) to reach the playoffs before the season, but after a loss on the road in which their offensive line and play-calling remained an issue, Chicago is now (+450) or higher.
