What are the Packers' playoff chances? Schedule, current odds, scenarios

Have the Green Bay Packers secured a spot in the playoffs after their 30-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night?

Not quite yet.

But Jordan Love and the Packers are on the verge of making the playoffs for the second straight year.

The Packers are 10-4 this season and continue to hold onto the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs with three games remaining on their 2024 regular season schedule.

Here are the Packers’ latest playoff odds, NFC playoff picture and more after the wire-to-wire win over the Seahawks.

NFC playoff image

With the win, the Green Bay Packers maintained their sixth place in the NFC playoff race.

The only movement in the playoff picture after Sunday’s games is that Seattle falls out of the playoff picture after the loss. The Los Angeles Rams replaced them as the new NFC West leaders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers moved into third place thanks to the tiebreaker over LA.

The Detroit Lions lost for the first time since Week 2 on Sunday, but still hold the top spot in the NFC as they are in a tiebreaker against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Detroit Lions: 12-2
Philadelphia Eagles: 12-2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 8-6
Los Angeles Rams: 8-6
Minnesota Vikings: 11-2 (playing Monday night against the Chicago Bears)
Green Bay Packers: 10-4
Washington Commanders: 9-5

On the hunt

Seattle Seahawks: 8-6
Arizona Cardinals: 7-7
Atlanta Falcons: 6-7 (playing Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders)

NFC North standings

The Lions are still atop the NFC North, but the Vikings can move into first place with Detroit with a win on Monday night against the Chicago Bears.

The Lions clinched a playoff spot with their win over the Packers last week, while the Vikings secured a spot in the postseason when the Packers defeated the Seahawks. The Lions and Vikings play each other in Week 18 on Jan. 5, a game that could decide the division. The Lions won the first game between the two teams 31-29 in October.

The Packers’ division title hopes are slim, so a wild card berth is probably the best they can hope for, which means they’ll have to play on the road in the playoffs.

Packers playoff chances

According to the New York Times simulation, the Packers have a 99% chance of making the playoffs.

The Packers will secure a spot in the playoffs with a win next Monday night against the New Orleans Saints.

The Packers will play head-to-head tiebreakers with the Rams, Cardinals and Seahawks if they come into play.

It’s a different situation for the Packers than it will be in 2023. After 14 games last season, the Packers were 6-8. They needed to win their final three games and get help to secure a playoff spot.

Packers remaining schedule

The Packers have their fourth straight primetime game next Monday night when they welcome the Saints to Lambeau Field. They then close out the regular season with back-to-back division games at Minnesota and at home against the Bears.
