The Falcons are second lowest in NFL playoff odds at +700. While moving on and trading away Matt Ryan may have been helpful for the long-term future of the franchise, it sure doesn’t help them in 2022.

With the third-lowest odds to make the NFL postseason, the Seahawks are at +600. They also traded away a franchise quarterback in Russell Wilson, which will likely leave them in a tough spot this year.
NFL Playoff Potential Letdowns
The Vikings have -115 odds to reach the NFL playoffs. While Justin Jefferson is an elite wide receiver, first-year head coach Kevin O’Connell and quarterback Kirk Cousins may take some time to jell.

The Eagles have the ninth-best odds to make the playoffs at -175. While they did get to the postseason last year and have great potential on offense, their defensive front seven could be a liability.
The Titans have NFL playoff odds of +100, just outside of being a favorite, but that might even be too high. They lost standout receiver AJ Brown and had some issues exposed in last year’s playoffs.
