Fanduel recently released their Super Bowl, Playoff, and Win Totals odds for the 2025 season. These odds offer insight into how the sports books evaluate each team heading into the season.
At -150, the Houston Texans have the weakest playoff odds of any projected division winner. Playing in the AFC South, those odds suggest bettors doubt DeMeco Ryans’ team can three-peat.
Three other AFC opponents are in the top four highest odds to make the playoffs; Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs (-370). The next closest team in the AFC South are the Jacksonville Jaguars at +172, or a 36.8% odds to make the playoffs.
It’s surprising to see the Texans odds so low given their recent success. They’ve won the AFC South twice in a row; a division lacking legitimate competition and talent. They’ve made the AFC Divisional Round twice in a row; a feat only five teams completed last year. They have one of the best defenses in the league and are primed with young talent. Teams such as the Buccaneers and 49ers having better odds are beyond me.
With -150 odds, a $50 bet would win $33.33. Considering this bet is to make the playoffs and not just win the division, those odds feel fairly safe given the division and talent on the roster. The AFC’s wild card options are the Cincinnati Bengals (-148), Denver Broncos (-128), and Los Angeles Chargers (-110).
