Entering Week 5 of the 2018 NFL season, only the Rams and Chiefs remain as undefeated teams. But in terms of playoff chances, at this point, only one can be considered a lock for the postseason.
The Cardinals, on the other hand, are the league's only winless team. Based on their playoff chances, they probably should start planning for next season.
AccuScore has used data from the first four weeks of the 2018 season and simulated every remaining game. Updated playoff chances are below.
