Surprising contenders and intriguing potential matchups are beginning to fill out the bracket, giving fans a taste of what this year’s path to Super Bowl 60 could look like. With so much still to be decided, the NFL playoff picture is shifting weekly, but let’s take a peek at where things stand now.

Here’s a look at the current NFL postseason bracket, plus a look at which teams are rising and falling in PFSN’s NFL Playoff Predictor. It’s been a roller-coaster season for the Ravens, but they are still in the playoff hunt. After a blowout 24-0 win over the Bengals in Week 15, John Harbaugh’s squad improved to 7-7 on the season. Entering the matchup, Baltimore had a 22.2% chance of reaching the postseason and winning the AFC North. After the win, those odds increased to 34.7%. Unfortunately for the Ravens, the Steelers won on Monday Night Football against the Dolphins, which hurts their postseason hopes.

After Pittsburgh’s win, Baltimore now has a 27.5% chance of winning the division and making the playoffs, according to PFSN’s NFL Playoff Predictor. The Steelers blew out the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, and it was a huge win for their playoff hopes. Had they lost to the Dolphins on Monday, their playoff odds would’ve dipped to 57%. When we look back at the 2025 regular season, we may be pointing to Week 14 as the pivotal moment that sculpted the playoff picture. Coming into the weekend, the slate had the promise of being an inflection point with multiple divisional matchups on deck between clubs in the thick of the playoff race. That included Steelers-Ravens duking it out for first place in the AFC North, along with Bears-Packers squaring off at Lambeau Field in an NFC North duel, and Colts-Jaguars jockeying for position atop the AFC...

And those games did not disappoint. Pittsburgh and Green Bay both pulled off wins to jump back into first place in their respective division. Meanwhile, Jacksonville held its spot atop the AFC South after taking down Indy, but the headline from that contest was Daniel Jones leaving the game due to an Achilles injury. That further shakes up the playoff picture in the AFC. With Week 14 complete, let's take a look at this latest snapshot and see who would be in and out of the playoffs. On top of the standings, we'll also run through the entire playoff picture, including the remaining schedules for each primary contender.

The Chiefs have made the playoffs in each of the last 10 seasons, but won't be part of the postseason after losing to the Chargers in the early slate. Meanwhile, the Bills scored a big victory over the Patriots to draw within one game of the AFC East race. The AFC runs through Denver right now as the Broncos became the first to clinch a playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Rams were able to outscore the Lions in a shootout to be the first team to clinch a playoff spot.
