The current situation ahead of Week 11

Current AFC playoff standings

Current NFC playoff standings

If these standings held up, we would welcome two new AFC teams (the Broncos and Chargers) and four new NFC teams (the Commanders, Falcons, Cardinals and Vikings) to the playoffs.

The projections

Naturally, it’s unlikely the playoff picture will remain constant over the remainder of the season. And that’s why it makes sense to look at the projected playoff picture — the estimated chances PFF gives each team to make the playoffs.

The following charts show the projected playoff chances for each team alongside the playoff leverage, i.e., how the playoff chances would change with a win or loss.

The logos show the current playoff chances. The points to the right of the logos indicate the chances after a win, and the points to the left indicate the chances after a loss.
