Current Cleveland Browns Playoff Chances in 2024-25
The latest Browns playoff chances are 0%, according to BetMGM Ohio.
Before the season began, pundits believed Cleveland’s success depended largely on Watson’s performances. They were correct. Watson was the worst quarterback in the league by a wide margin; his 23.4 QBR rating was several points lower than the next-lowest-rated quarterback, Will Levis. But after suffering an Achilles injury during a Week 7 loss to the Bengals, Watson’s season is over. It will be up to backup QB Jameis Winston to lead the Browns’ offense now.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Browns’ playoff chances and other odds for the season.

Are the Browns in the Playoffs?
The Browns are not in the playoffs, and have been eliminated from post-season contention this year.
Can the Browns Make the Playoffs?
The Browns are still mathematically alive for a playoff spot—barely. They lost in week 1 against the Cowboys, beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 15, and then lost to the Giants, the Raiders, the Washington Commanders, the Eagles, and the Bengals. They broke their losing streak by shocking the Ravens in Week 8. But with upcoming games against the Chiefs and more good teams, the Browns' miserable 2024/2025 season could be cemented soon.
