ESPN Analytics' live NFL playoff chances -- which combine current in-game win probabilities with our Football Power Index (FPI) season projections -- provide each team's postseason likelihood throughout the Week 18 slate. The projected final standings update regularly, and we're also tracking a few tight postseason races and the 2025 draft order for non-playoff teams. See how things stack up in both conferences throughout every game.
While 14 teams will ultimately make the playoffs, 18 others start their offseasons at the conclusion of Week 18. Those franchises will soon be making personnel decisions, evaluating their coaching staffs, working the trade market and navigating the free agent pool.
