Updated Playoff Odds For The Buffalo Bills

Week 13 of the NFL season is in the books and with the Buffalo Bills on a BYE week this week, did they get any help from other teams in the AFC in their quest to make the playoffs this year?

With wins by the Rams, the Texans, the Cardinals, and the Packers, some of the competition for a playoff spot in the AFC took a hit.

So what are the odds the Bills make the playoffs right now?

According to the NY Times NFL playoff tracker, the Bills at 6-6 currently have a 15% chance to make the playoffs.

The Bills have 5 more regular season games left.

If they win all five games, starting with Sunday's game in Kansas City, their odds of making the playoffs jump to 99%.

If the Bills were to lose to the Chiefs and win the remaining four games, their playoff chances would be right around 54%.

If the Bills were to lose any of the two out of five remaining games, they would have a regular season record of 9-8 and their playoff odds would drop all the way down to 1%.

If the Bills were to lose three out of the next five games, they would end the regular season with a losing record and they would be out of playoff contention.

The last time the Bills had a losing record in the regular season was back in 2018 when they finished 6-10. That was one year after they snapped their playoff drought in 2017.

If the Bills want to make the playoffs this year, they can control their own destiny and win all five remaining regular season games.
