We haven't even reached the 2024 NFL Draft, but odds to make the NFL playoffs are on the board for all 32 teams. 

Super Bowl odds are typically the most popular NFL futures market, but NFL odds to make or miss the playoffs can be just as interesting and lucrative for bettors. 

The Kansas City Chiefs may have beaten the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58, but the 49ers playoff odds (-550) are actually lower than the Chiefs playoff odds (-450). 

Here are the latest NFL playoff odds.

NFL Playoffs 2024 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 LVIII on February 11, 2024 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, NV.
