LAS VEGAS - AussieJournal -- The NFL season may have just kicked off, but for playoff hopefuls, the path to the postseason is already being charted — and the oddsmakers are taking notice.

Sports betting platform OddsTrader.com has released its latest projections for every team's chances of making the NFL playoffs, and the results are as revealing as they are surprising.

With heavy favorites like the Buffalo Bills (–800), Kansas City Chiefs (–370), and Baltimore Ravens (–590) leading the AFC, and teams like the Philadelphia Eagles (–375) and San Francisco 49ers (–200) dominating the NFC board, a handful of teams look nearly locked in already.

But not everyone's future is so certain.

According to OddsTrader, underdog teams like the New York Giants (+790), New Orleans Saints (+820), and Cleveland Browns (+880) face long odds to make the postseason. Meanwhile, competitive divisions like the AFC West and NFC North feature razor-thin margins, with multiple teams sitting at near-even odds.
