8. Los Angeles Rams - 47% chance
The Los Angeles Rams, like we all expected, have a 47 percent chance to make the playoffs through the first nine weeks of the season. Injuries have plagued the Rams this year on both sides of the ball, and now with both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams out, it's hard to see how this offense amounts to much of anything through the air. LA is going to have to lean on Blake Corum and Kyren Williams more than ever, but given the overall talent and the possibility that many of these injured players return this year, the Rams do have a path for a Wild Card spot.
7. Seattle Seahawks - 48% chance
The Seattle Seahawks, not even one full year after winning the Super Bowl, have a 48 percent chance at the playoffs this year, which is slightly better than the Rams right now. The really odd thing with the Seahawks this year is that backup QB Drew Lock has been significantly better than Sam Darnold this year, whose weaknesses without an elite supporting cast are being exposed. Seattle could get into the playoffs this year as long as the QB situation isn't terrible, and as long as the defense does not regress, but this team does, at least right now, have a major question mark at QB.
6. New York Giants - 51% chance
The New York Giants are the 'coin flip' team in the NFC right now, owning a 51 percent chance at making the playoffs. None of the QBs filling in for the injured Jaxson Dart have been particularly good, so that's a concern, and the defense doesn't really do anything exceptionally well, so this could be a team that falters down the stretch. There just isn't a ton to love with the Giants outside of John Harbaugh.
5. Green Bay Packers - 61% chance
The Green Bay Packers have seen Jordan Love play like an MVP candidate this year, but this franchise has been plagued by injuries all year. While the Packers do have respectable odds at the postseason this year, the odds aren't great, and the path to a Super Bowl feels very narrow given the teams currently ahead of them in the standings.
