Six NFL teams are still looking to clinch a postseason berth in Week 17. Only three teams will find their way into the final playoff picture, and the latest betting odds suggest a few contenders have a much better chance to do so than others.

The Baltimore Ravens, Minnesota Vikings and Indianapolis Colts are favored to make the playoffs over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans.

Baltimore has the best odds of making the postseason. A win Sunday would give them the AFC North title. The Ravens are -250 favorites to defeat the Cleveland Browns at home, according to OddsShark.

Assuming there are no ties Sunday, the Steelers can only make the playoffs by winning the division. In order for that to happen, Pittsburgh would need Baltimore to lose in addition to winning their game with the Cincinnati Bengals at Heinz Field. The Steelers are overwhelming favorites with -900 odds to win the season finale.

Minnesota has the second-best playoff odds of all the contenders. The Vikings are -210 favorites to beat the Chicago Bears at home and clinch a postseason berth. Kirk Cousins and Co. would also make the postseason with a loss by Philadelphia, who has -300 odds to win on the road against the Washington Redskins.

The Ravens and Vikings both lost earlier this season against their upcoming opponents. The Steelers and Eagles own wins over their Week 17 opponents. The Bengals and Redskins each have just one win in the last six games.

Both the Colts and Titans control their own destiny. The winner of their “Sunday Night Football” contest will get into the postseason. If the Houston Texans lose earlier in the day, a win for Indianapolis or Tennessee will give them the AFC South title.

Tennessee will be at home, but it’s Indianapolis that is the -180 favorite. The Titans have +155 odds as Marcus Mariota continues to recover from the stinger that forced him to leave the team’s Week 16 contest.

Indianapolis blew Tennessee out 38-10 when they met in Week 11. The Colts are 8-1 in their last nine games.
