The 2025 NFL season is underway! We’re past Week 11 and already in Week 12. With only seven weeks remaining in the regular season, the fight for the playoffs and the road to Super Bowl LX are intensifying.
Promising teams have become powerhouses, while others surprise week after week. The race for the wild card spots becomes increasingly exciting.
What teams have the best chances of making the playoffs with their 14 teams? Which ones still have to work hard to achieve it?
We analyze the projections for the rest of the season, considering the playoff picture in both conferences. We include the updated probabilities for each team to reach the postseason, secure their division, and even reach the Super Bowl.
Here’s what’s most important:Last updated: November 21st.
AFC Analysis
Week 12 began with a standout performance by the Texans’ defense, who, thanks to eight sacks, secured a victory over the Bills. This keeps Houston in the playoff hunt and raises questions for Buffalo.
Last week, the Broncos’ defense kept the Chiefs at bay, and the Patriots continued their winning streak by beating the Jets. The Ravens are showing good performance at the end of the season, despite an underperforming Lamar Jackson, who threw two interceptions in Week 11.
NFC Analysis
The Rams and Eagles consolidated their dominance in the NFC with two important victories in Week 11. Los Angeles secured their position in the NFC West by defeating the Seahawks, while Philadelphia defeated the Lions in a matchup between NFC powerhouses.
The NFC North also experienced significant changes with Detroit’s defeat, as the Bears now lead the division. Chicago still has a pending game against the Lions and will play twice against the Packers, so it is possible that the leader of this division will change several times before the season ends. Interestingly, the Vikings, who are in last place, have the most division wins (2).
