    How NFL Playoff Odds Work

    NFL playoff odds are season-long futures bets on whether a team will qualify for the postseason. A team can cash a “to make playoffs” bet by winning its division or earning one of the conference’s Wild Card spots.

    Odds with a plus sign show the potential profit on a $100 bet. For odds with a minus sign, the number shows how much must be wagered to profit $100. For example, a $5,988 bet on Buffalo at -5988 would profit $100 if the Bills make the playoffs.

    This page tracks three odds checkpoints for every team:

    • Current odds: The latest odds to make the playoffs available at DraftKings Sportsbook.
    • Previous update: The odds from this page’s prior update.
    • Preseason odds: The baseline odds entering the 2026 NFL season.

    NFL playoff odds can move after games, injuries, trades, quarterback news and other developments that affect a team’s chance of reaching the postseason. Shorter odds indicate a team has become more favored, while longer odds indicate it has become less favored.
