The NFL has wrapped up Week 11 and the NFL playoff picture is not much clearer than it was a week ago. In the AFC, two games separate first place from tenth place. In the NFC, the top teams are fairly secure, but seven teams are within a game of each other between sixth and 12th place.
The team in best position right now is the Arizona Cardinals. They’ve gone 2-1 the past three weeks with divisional wins over the 49ers and Seahawks in spite of missing quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. They are only a game and a half up on the Rams in the division and a game up on the Packers for best record in the conference, but they’re on track to secure a playoff berth sooner than later.
DraftKings Sportsbook has posted the latest odds for each team to make the playoffs and the Cardinals are the only team that have been taken off the board. You can still bet the Cardinals to not make the playoffs at +4000, but it’s hard to see that as anything other than a sucker bet.
Below we’ve broken out each team’s odds to make the playoffs when they opened and then last week and this week. The biggest movers from open to now are the Patriots and Bengals. The Patriots opened at +115 to make the playoffs and have improved to -500 now that they hold the AFC East lead. The Bengals opened at +500 and have improved to -120 now that they sit in the third wild card spot.
Here’s what the playoff standings look like coming out of Week 11. That’s followed by each team’s odds of making the playoffs at DraftKings Sportsbook.
