Odds to make the NFL Playoffs on DraftKings Sportsbook
Houston Texans (-135)
C.J. Stroud has not only made the postseason in each of his first two seasons, but he’s also won his division and a Wild Card Round game. The Colts have an ongoing quarterback battle between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, while the Titans will be starting rookie QB Cam Ward with a bad roster around him. The Jaguars are likely the Texans’ biggest competition when it comes to winning the AFC South. However, it is hard to see Jacksonville jumping from a four-win season to winning the AFC South. It was a “lost season” for the Jaguars once Trevor Lawrence got injured, but they were already 2-7 before Mac Jones ever started a game. The addition of Travis Hunter was an exciting one, but their defense was the worst in the NFL last season and won’t improve enough to dethrone Houston. At these odds, it’s hard to pass up on a Texans team that could be better than a year ago with their depth additions at wide receiver and offensive line.
Atlanta Falcons (+155)
The Falcons are a team to watch this season. They went 8-9 last year, despite things getting so bad with Kirk Cousins that he got benched and is expected to be traded at some point this offseason. Michael Penix Jr. is now the unquestioned QB1 heading into 2025-26. Despite getting thrust into a tough situation at the end of last season, Penix showed flashes of why he was drafted so high by the Falcons. With a full offseason as “the guy” in Atlanta, he should only get better and develop his connection with the Falcons’ weapons. Between Drake London and Bijan Robinson, Atlanta has one of the best RB/WR combinations in the league. After bolstering their defense this offseason, including adding two high-level EDGE rushers in the draft, the Falcons should be competing for the NFC South against the Buccaneers. They should beat up on the Saints and Panthers and have a good shot at a Wild Card spot even if they can’t finish ahead of Tampa Bay.
Parlay: Bills, Ravens, Chiefs and Eagles (+111)
These are the four teams with the best odds to make the playoffs, and frankly, I can’t see any of them missing out barring a quarterback injury. The Patriots and Jets could be slightly improved, but the Bills should cruise to another AFC East title. While the AFC North is always tough, the Bengals are still deficient defensively and the Steelers are taking a shot on a washed-up Aaron Rodgers. The Ravens should take that division title again, as well. The Broncos and Chargers are feisty teams, but as long as Patrick Mahomes exists, the Chiefs will find ways to win enough games to take the AFC West crown. Finally, the return of Dak Prescott could make the Cowboys a bigger threat, and Jayden Daniels proved to be absolutely electric in his rookie season; but top-to-bottom, the Eagles have the best roster in football. All four of these teams should win their divisions, but even if a team like the Chargers or Cowboys takes a massive step forward and knocks one of them off in the division, they will still be good enough to make the playoffs. Therefore, at plus-money, this is a great parlay to make on all four of these teams making the postseason.
