2024 NFL playoff bracket: Picks, predictions, best bets for AFC, NFC schedule from top model

The Detroit Lions ended a 30-year divisional drought by winning the NFC North this season and now they’ll try to end a 32-year drought without a playoff victory during NFL Super Wild Card Weekend 2024. The Lions will host the Rams on Sunday in the first round of the 2024 NFL playoff bracket and are favored by three points in the latest NFL odds via the SportsLine consensus. Can you trust Detroit to advance in your 2024 NFL playoff bracket picks or will it be the same old story for the hard-luck Lions?

The Chiefs are always a threat to make a deep run after making it to at least the AFC championship game the last five seasons. They’ll begin their title defense against the Dolphins on Saturday, but after a lackluster season by their standards, should you include them in your NFL playoff picks? Before making any NFL picks or 2024 NFL bracket predictions, be sure to see what SportsLine’s advanced computer model has to say. 

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters the 2024 NFL playoffs on an incredible 183-129 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 37-21 roll on top-rated picks since Week 7 of last season and has nailed seven straight top-rated picks entering the 2024 NFL playoffs.    

The model ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Now, it has turned its attention to the 2024 NFL playoffs bracket and locked in NFL picks for every NFL matchup. Head here to see every pick.
