According to ESPN’s latest playoff odds, the Lions have a 54% chance to earn the bye as the top seed. The Eagles are next in line with a 29% chance, followed by Minnesota with a 16% chance of getting the No. 1 seed.

Looking closer at the Vikings’ odds, ESPN says Minnesota has a 23% chance of winning the North compared to Detroit, having a 77% chance of winning the division.
