4. Minnesota Vikings - 75% chance
The Minnesota Vikings are No. 4 in the power rankings, and now with Kirk Cousins in the mix, this team does feel quite formidable, as Cousins has been pretty good this year, and the Vikings QB performance has been far from, as neither Kyler Murray nor Carson Wentz played nearly well enough.
3. Detroit Lions - 83% chance
The Detroit Lions own an 83 percent chance to make the playoffs this year, which is only the second-highest total in the NFC North. Detroit's defense has stepped up big-time this year, and the offense is lethal as usual. Jared Goff has been hyper-efficient as well and continues to be underrated across the QB landscape. As of now, it feels like the Lions one-year playoff drought streak will remain just that.
2. Chicago Bears - 84% chance
With an 84 percent chance, the Bears land at No. 2 in the NFC playoff power rankings. Chicago has been Caleb Williams really up his game. Outside of that four-interception disaster last week, Williams has played well and has taken major strides in year three. The Bears defense is also quite tough, and now that Jeffery Simmons is in the mix, you struggle to find any sort of major hole with the Bears. It's early, but a Super Bowl run is well within the realm of possibility.
1. San Francisco 49ers - 94% chance
The San Francisco 49ers have the best chance in the NFC to make the playoffs this year. Sitting at 7-1, the 49ers, tied with Buffalo, own the best record in football, and the 49ers have done this despite a ton of injuries. It has been another stellar coaching job by Kyle Shanahan, and QB Brock Purdy has elevated his game this year as well. All in all, the 49ers feel like a Super Bowl team and have made it twice in the Shanahan era.
