The Kansas City Chiefs currently hold the NFL's longest active playoff streak at seven consecutive seasons. The Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, and Tennessee Titans are tied for the second-longest active streak at three seasons each, while the Los Angeles Rams have reached the playoffs in two straight years.

NFL playoff betting falls under futures betting, which opens before the season starts. Here's how typical NFL playoff odds appear:

Team	Odds
Atlanta Falcons	+250
Arizona Cardinals	+600
Detroit Lions	+660
Seattle Seahawks	+800
Carolina Panthers	+1600
Chicago Bears	+1600

For example, a $100 bet on the Falcons at +250 would win $250 if they make the playoffs, while the same bet on the Bears at +1600 would win $1,600.

Key Strategy Tips for NFL Playoff Betting:

1. Look for Value Throughout Season

• Shop for optimal odds before and during the season
• Place strategic smaller bets as odds fluctuate
• Consider mixing pre-season and in-season bets

2. Expect Odds Volatility

• NFL's unpredictability affects odds significantly
• Monitor odds tables for betting opportunities
• Consider hedging previous bets when appropriate

3. Focus on Current Performance

• Watch games carefully rather than relying solely on historical data
• Past playoff streaks don't guarantee future success
• Adjust strategy based on current season developments

Odds change considerably once the season begins due to factors like team performance, key injuries, and overall competitiveness of divisions. While historical playoff appearances provide context, current season performance is the most reliable indicator for betting decisions.
