How to bet NFL playoff odds

Our sites with the best sportsbook promos set playoff odds for each team, and you then wager on whether that club will qualify for the postseason.

To find these markets, go to your favorite sportsbook, head to the NFL section, and look for "futures." There, you'll find a variety of options, including playoff odds.

Oddsmakers consider many factors when setting or shifting the playoff odds, including the quality of a team's roster, offseason transactions, draft picks, past results, and injuries. The strength of the division and schedule also factor into the total. There’s a price attached to each team total too, and it can change based on the betting action.

NFL playoff odds wagers are futures bets. A successful wager is paid out at the conclusion of the regular season.

How to read NFL playoff odds

Reading NFL playoff odds is straightforward. Odds are usually presented in a format like +500 or -200. Positive odds (e.g., +500) show how much profit you’d make on a $100 bet.

For example, a $100 bet at +500 odds would win you $500, plus your original $100 stake, totaling $600. Negative odds (e.g., -200) indicate how much you need to bet to win $100. So, a $200 bet at -200 odds would win you $100, plus your $200 stake, totaling $300.

These odds also reflect the probability of a particular NFL playoff odds outcome. Lower odds (e.g., -250) suggest a higher likelihood, while higher odds (e.g., +500) indicate a lower probability. Our best sports betting sites adjust these odds based on injuries, stats, news, and betting patterns.

If the Chiefs are getting -550 odds to make the playoffs and the Packers are at -155, Kansas City is considered much more likely to qualify. If you bet $100 on the Chiefs and they make the playoffs, you’d get $118 back.
