Which still have a lot of work to do to ultimately get into the 14-team field? We used ESPN&#8217;s\u00a0Football Power Index\u00a0to project the rest of the season, looking at the playoff picture for both conferences. We included updated odds for every team to\u00a0make the postseason, clinch its division and even make the Super Bowl. Here&#8217;s everything you need right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Last update:<\/strong>\u00a0Oct. 15 at 10 a.m. ET<\/p>\n<h2>Projecting the AFC playoff field<\/h2>\n<p>Four teams in the NFL have a 90% or better chance to make the playoffs, and they all play in the AFC. The Chiefs are over 99%, the Bills are at 95%, the Ravens are at 94% and the Texans sit at 93%.<\/p>\n<p>Division races in the AFC might not be super exciting down the stretch, too. The Chiefs are at 94% to win the AFC West, while the Texans are 83% to claim the AFC South. Then the Ravens are 71% in the AFC North, while the Bills climbed to 86% in the AFC East after their\u00a0Monday night\u00a0win over the Jets.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imageLoaded\" src=\"https:\/\/hotnews.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/afc_playoffs.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Patriots sit at the bottom of the conference in playoff chances (less than 1%), but the Browns (3%) and Jaguars (5%) are right there with them.<\/p>\n<h2>Projecting the NFC playoff field<\/h2>\n<p>Two NFC North teams lead the conference here &#8212; the Lions and Vikings both have 86% odds to make the postseason. Could we see\u00a0all four NFC North teams\u00a0in the playoffs? The Bears (42%) have the lowest chances of the four teams. (The Packers are 66%.)<\/p>\n<p>Remember when the Saints had the best chances to make the playoffs after Week 2? They were 81%. Now? Just 15%!
