FootballOutsiders released their updated playoff odds on Tuesday morning and two teams stand ahead of the pack for the two NFC wild card berths ... and they play each other this Sunday. The Carolina Panthers have a 55.2% chance to win a wild card spot, including a 33.9% shot to get the 5-seed. The Seattle Seahawks have a 45% chance, with a 24.2% shot at the 5-seed and a 20.8% to be the last team in.
The Panthers host the Seahawks at 10 AM PT on Sunday.
The winner of that game should see their playoff odds skyrocket, while the loser can at least keep hope alive thanks to recent losses by the Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, and Green Bay Packers.
