NFL Playoff Dreams: Long Shots & Clinchers
4 Dec
Summary
- No teams have officially clinched playoff spots yet.
- Five teams are already mathematically eliminated from contention.
- Several teams have outside shots at making the postseason.
As the NFL season enters its final month, the playoff picture is still taking shape, with no team having officially secured a postseason berth. While some teams are considered near locks, others cling to improbable chances. This upcoming week is crucial for determining which teams will advance and which will be officially eliminated.
Currently, five teams have been mathematically removed from playoff contention: the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, and Arizona Cardinals in the NFC, and the Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans in the AFC. This leaves a significant portion of the league vying for limited spots.
Despite the uncertainty, teams like the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, and Buffalo Bills have a high probability of making the AFC playoffs. In the NFC, the Chicago Bears lead the pack, though their odds are lower than other contenders, highlighting the dynamic nature of the playoff race.
