The L.A. Rams have just a 17% chance to make the playoffs, according to The New York Times playoff simulator, and as bad as that sounds it is still a lot better than most teams who aren’t already slated to make the postseason. By accident or design, the 2024 NFL regular season is leading to a very anticlimactic ending.
Here are the %Chance to make the playoffs for the 4 AFC division leaders:
AFC East - Bills, 99%
AFC North - Steelers, 91%*
AFC South - Texans, 94%
AFC West - Chiefs, 99%
*Ravens, 95%
With six games left, the only question left in the AFC for division winners is whether or not the 8-3 Steelers of 7-4 Ravens will win the division.
