DraftKings prices come from SI Betting's Sunday night board and add to 120.2% across all 32 teams, so each is divided by that total. Kalshi and Polymarket prices are the midpoint of bid and ask. Playoff odds average the two exchanges' make-the-postseason markets. Week 8 spreads are the consensus on SportsbookReview Monday morning. Sportsbook futures boards on VegasInsider and SportsbookReview still showed pre-Sunday prices, so they are not used this week.
Tier 1: three teams at 10% or close (1 to 3)
1. San Francisco 49ers (6-1), +580
San Francisco lost 29-20 at Atlanta, with Brock Purdy throwing two interceptions, and still has the best price on all three markets: +580 at DraftKings, about 15% on Kalshi and 14% on Polymarket. The 49ers are 6-1, the NFC No. 2 seed, and have the Week 8 bye.
2. Buffalo Bills (5-1), +700
Buffalo moved up a spot on its bye week while San Francisco and Kansas City lost. The Bills are 5-1, about 91% to make the playoffs, and host Baltimore as 3.5-point favorites with a 53.5 total.
3. Kansas City Chiefs (5-1), +800
Kansas City lost for the first time, 20-3 at Seattle on Sunday night, and now holds the AFC No. 1 seed only on a tiebreaker over 5-1 Buffalo. The Chiefs visit Denver as 1.5-point favorites with first place in the AFC West at stake.
Tier 2: contenders a step behind (4 to 8)
4. Los Angeles Rams (3-4), +1,100
The Rams won 35-21 at Las Vegas and are 3-4, outside the playoff field, yet the market ranks them fourth. Polymarket has them at 7.5%, ahead of every team but the top three. They host the winless Chargers as 7 to 7.5-point favorites.
5. Seattle Seahawks (4-3), +1,150
Seattle beat Kansas City 20-3 and is 4-3, one tiebreaker out of the NFC field. The Seahawks host Chicago on Monday night of Week 8 as 3 to 3.5-point favorites.
6. Chicago Bears (5-2), +1,400
Chicago beat New England 30-24 on Thursday and is 5-2, the NFC's top wild card. Kalshi and Polymarket both have the Bears at 6.5%. They visit Seattle on Monday night.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2), +1,400
Jacksonville had the bye and is 4-2 with an AFC South lead the market prices at about 80%. The Jaguars host Indianapolis as 7.5-point favorites.
8. Baltimore Ravens (4-3), +1,200
Baltimore lost 35-13 at home to Cincinnati, its third straight game without Lamar Jackson, and is 4-3 and ninth in the AFC. Jackson is expected back for Week 8 at Buffalo, where the Ravens are 3.5-point underdogs.
Tier 3: the crowded middle (9 to 13)
9. Cincinnati Bengals (4-2), +1,700
Cincinnati won 35-13 at Baltimore out of its bye and took the AFC No. 7 seed at 4-2. The Bengals lead the AFC North market at about 44% and are the biggest favorite of Week 8, 10 to 10.5 points over Tennessee.
10. Minnesota Vikings (6-0), +1,700
Minnesota beat Indianapolis 16-10 and is 6-0, the NFC No. 1 seed. The market still ranks the Vikings 10th, and they are 3 to 3.5-point underdogs at Detroit in Week 8.
11. Denver Broncos (5-2), +1,900
Denver won 30-16 at Arizona and holds the AFC No. 5 seed at 5-2. The Broncos host Kansas City as 1.5-point home underdogs.
12. Detroit Lions (4-2), +2,100

13. New England Patriots (4-3), +2,000
New England lost 30-24 at Chicago on Thursday and fell out of the AFC field at 4-3. The Patriots are still about 68% to make the playoffs and are 7.5-point favorites at Miami.
Tier 4: long shots with a path (14 to 20)
Green Bay (4-3, +3,200) lost 20-17 at Detroit and holds the NFC No. 7 seed on a tiebreaker; the Packers host Carolina on Thursday as 3.5 to 4.5-point favorites. Dallas (2-4, +3,500) plays at Philadelphia on Monday night and is a 6 to 6.5-point favorite against Arizona in Week 8. Houston (2-5, +3,500) lost 27-21 in overtime at home to the Giants and has the bye. Atlanta (3-4, +6,500) beat San Francisco 29-20 and is a 1.5 to 2-point underdog at Tampa Bay. Pittsburgh (5-2, +7,000) beat New Orleans 16-10 in Paris, holds the AFC No. 6 seed and hosts Cleveland as a 3.5 to 4-point favorite. The Giants (4-2-1, +9,000) lead the NFC East and have the bye. Carolina (3-3, +5,500) lost 43-13 at home to Tampa Bay and still leads the NFC South.
Tier 5: the bottom twelve (21 to 32)
Tampa Bay (2-5, +12,000) won 43-13 at Carolina. Cleveland (5-2, +20,000) is the AFC No. 3 seed and still ranks 22nd, the widest gap between the standings and the market. Washington (1-4-1, +12,500) had the bye and hosts Philadelphia on Sunday night as a 3.5 to 4-point favorite. Las Vegas (3-4, +15,000), Philadelphia (2-4, +25,000), New Orleans (2-5, +20,000) and Indianapolis (2-5, +25,000) follow. The winless Chargers (0-6), the Jets (2-5), Arizona (2-5), Tennessee (1-6) and Miami (1-5) round out the board at +60,000 or longer at DraftKings.
Why the market rankings differ from the NFL standings
The standings count wins; the market prices how likely a team is to win from here. Minnesota is 6-0 and 10th because the Vikings' prices across all three markets sit near 4.5%. Cleveland is 5-2 and holds the AFC No. 3 seed but ranks 22nd at +20,000, and the market makes the Browns about 37% to make the playoffs. The Rams are 3-4 and fourth. Pittsburgh, also 5-2, is 18th.
