Odds by division

Frequently asked questions

How are these NFL playoff odds calculated?

We rate every team from its scoring margin this season, adjusted for opponent strength and home field, then simulate the remaining schedule 20,000 times. Each simulation applies the official tiebreakers and plays out the playoffs. A team's odds are the share of simulations in which it reached each milestone.

Are these betting odds?

No. They are model probabilities for fans, not sportsbook lines, and they are not betting advice.

Which team is most likely to get the No. 1 seed?

AFC: Buffalo Bills (33%). NFC: San Francisco 49ers (47%).
