We're looking ahead to how the 14-team playoff picture could line up en route to Super Bowl LIX.
Domonique Foxworth and Dan Graziano discuss whether the San Francisco 49ers are the team to beat in the NFC. Which teams are already in good shape at this point? Which ones still have a lot of work to do to ultimately get into the 14-team field? We used ESPN'sto project the rest of the season, looking at the playoff picture for both conferences.
But what happened to the Bengals? They entered the season with the fifth-best chance to make the postseason at 66%. After their Week 1 loss to the Patriots, they now rank 14th at 46%.New England entered the season with the NFL's lowest odds to make the playoffs, per ESPN's FPI . Now? The Pats are up to 16% -- 27th overall and 13th in the AFC.After their win against the Jets on Monday night, the 49ers now have a 85% chance to make the playoffs this season -- which is tops in the NFC.
The NFC South could be a division to watch. The Falcons came into Week 1 with a 60% chance to make the playoffs and a 34% chance to win the division. Those numbers are now 39% and 20%, respectively, after Pittsburgh stymied the-led offense. Meanwhile, the Saints and Buccaneers are both over 50% to make the playoffs after big Week 1 wins.
Things don't look great for the Panthers and Giants. Both teams are below 6% to make the playoffs after just one game.
