FiveThirtyEight Releases Final AFC Playoff Spot Odds
With the final AFC playoff spot up for grabs in Week 18, FiveThirtyEight has released its final playoff odds for the Dolphins, Patriots and Steelers entering the final weekend of the regular season.
The analytics site has New England with the best odds at 35%, while the Dolphins have a 32% chance and the Steelers have a 27% chance of reaching the postseason.
The Patriots need a victory over the Bills on Sunday to clinch a playoff spot. Their path is cut and dry, so it makes sense that they enter Sunday with the best odds out of the three teams to clinch a playoff spot.
