The Super Bowl markets are often a football futures bettor's first stop, but NFL odds to make the playoffs can be just as interesting and lucrative.
No teams have clinched yet in the NFC but the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles are practically guaranteed a spot and have no NFL playoff odds listed. The Atlanta Falcons looked like a good bet to join them a month ago but three straight losses have the Dirty Birds in a bind.
Meanwhile in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills have wrapped up their division and the Kansas City Chiefs have clinched at least a Wild Card spot. The Denver Broncos (-250 to make it, +210 to miss out) are the biggest coin-flip left in the conference.
Let's look at the latest NFL playoff odds.

NFL playoffs key dates
Here is a look at the NFL playoff schedule for January and February 2025.
- Wild Card Weekend: January 11-13
- Divisional Round: January 18-19
- Conference Championship Round: January 26
- Super Bowl 59: February 9
NFL playoffs format
The NFL playoffs expanded prior to the 2020 season and will run the same format in 2024, with 14 teams in the postseason — seven from each conference.
In each conference, the division winners will comprise the Nos. 1-4 spots, while the Nos. 5-7 spots will come via wild cards. The top seed in both the AFC and the NFC will get a first-round bye, with the other matchups proceeding as follows:
- No. 2 seed vs. No. 7 seed (lowest-ranked wild card)
- No. 3 seed vs. No. 6 seed
- No. 4 seed (lowest-ranked division winner) vs. No. 5 seed (highest-ranked wild card)
After the first round, the No. 1 seed will face the lowest remaining seed in their conference, while the other two teams will square off. Those winners will meet in the conference championship, and then the winners of those games — the AFC and NFC champions — will meet in Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
