Noteworthy NFL playoff odds highlighted by Chiefs

Parity has been the theme of the 2025 NFL season. Entering Week 15 a year ago, four teams had clinched playoff spots. This year, there are none, and only three can do so this upcoming weekend.

Over a quarter of the league's 32 teams have been eliminated from playoff contention, but that doesn't mean the surviving teams won't make this playoff race exciting.

There are seven playoff spots in each conference waiting to be claimed. The NFC has 11 teams still in contention and the AFC has 12.

If you're looking at the list of teams and wondering which ones in the hunt are in the best spot to secure a playoff spot, look no further than the Chiefs (6-7) in the AFC. Kansas City has plenty of work to get back into the playoff picture, but its path is still clear despite its current losing record.

The Chiefs need to win their final four games of the season: vs. Chargers, at Titans, vs. Broncos, at Raiders.

Then they will need the Colts to lose two of their final four games: at Seahawks, vs. 49ers, vs. Jaguars, at Texans. Indianapolis is in a precarious position and signed 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers out of retirement to the practice squad after Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.

The final domino the Chiefs need is for the Chargers to lose at least three of their last four: at Chiefs, at Cowboys, vs. Texans, at Broncos. Los Angeles' win over the Eagles on Monday night boosted its chances in a significant way and made the Chiefs' path slimmer, but the Chargers' schedule is daunting.

Kansas City is given (+520) odds or an implied 16% chance to make the playoffs. The major wrinkle in the equation is that if the Broncos clinch the AFC's No. 1 seed and a bye before Week 18, they could rest their starters against the Chargers. Don't count out Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid until the final whistle.
