NFL Playoff Picture 2025 Week 14 Standings, Super Bowl Odds, Wild Card Bracket Hunt

If one thing became clear in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season, it is that parody reigns supreme in professional football.

Why else would a 10-point underdog Carolina Panthers squad be able to knock off the NFC's top seed entering the week, the Los Angeles Rams? How else could someone explain the Baltimore Ravens' ability to be in the proverbial driver's seat in the AFC North entering Week 14 despite a long losing streak to start the year?

It is that parody that has set up the league for a dramatic final few weeks of regular season competition, with no obvious answer as to who might hoist the Lombardi Trophy come February.

Ahead of the 14th week of NFL action, find out who is seeded where, which teams have been eliminated, and who the odds makers have as the favorite to win the big game with this look at the current playoff picture.

Are the Denver Broncos a Legit Super Bowl Contender?

Head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Bo Nix have the Denver Broncos sitting atop the AFC at 10-2 after a 27-26 overtime win Sunday night against the Washington Commanders.

There are major questions about the team's ability to win a Super Bowl after a performance in which the defense surrendered 419 total yards to a Washington squad quarterbacked by backup Marcus Mariota and battered by injuries.

The run game was nonexistent, with accumulating 87 total yards on the ground. Nix threw for 321 yards but only totaled one touchdown and one interception. Despite a talented wide receiver room, it was tight end Evan Engram who stepped up with six catches and 79 yards to be the night's leading pass catcher for the Broncos.

Some would point to those so-so statistics and argue that the Broncos are finding ways to win and while they would be right, to some extent, the team cannot allow the type of yardage they did against Washington and expect to win a world title.

There are also questions about their strength of schedule, where they have played four winning teams in 12 games and gone a pedestrian 2-2 against them, beating Houston and Philadelphia while losing to Indianapolis and the Los Angeles Chargers.

Nix is averaging just 6.3 yards per attempt, which puts him below the likes of Tyler Huntley, Geno Smith, Shedeur Sanders Tyler Shough, Russell Wilson, and his opponent Sunday night, Mariota.

But they are still winning.

Payton's squad continues to buck the odds, making comeback after comeback to remain a two-loss team and riding a nine-game winning streak. To count them out of the Super Bowl discussion would be disrespectful to the team and what they have accomplished through 13 weeks of regular season play.

Whether they can play like they have and still advance past the first round, play in a conference championship game, or even hoist the Lombardi Trophy playing the brand of football that they are is the real question.

Until someone puts an end to a winning streak tied for the longest in the league with New England, the answer would seem to be "yes."
