Can the Raiders Make the Playoffs?
Yes, the Raiders can still make the playoffs as the season hasn’t kicked off, and their +370 odds mean they have about a one-in-four shot to make it back to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. With a new coaching staff and a few key additions, a playoff push isn’t out of reach, but they’ll need to exceed expectations early and likely have some luck on their side, especially in a loaded AFC West.
Raiders Playoff Picture
Las Vegas enters the season in rebuilding mode under new head coach Pete Carroll’s leadership. Early projections place them near the middle of the pack in the AFC, with playoff hopes resting on improved consistency from offense, primarily new quarterback Geno Smith, and the continued development of the defense. The toughest challenge remains carving out space in a crowded wildcard race in a tough division, but the team's recent changes are shifting the narrative toward optimism, and odds have slightly moved in their favor over the last few weeks.
Where Are the Raiders in the AFC West Divisional Race?
With +1900 odds to win the AFC West via DraftKings, the Raiders trail behind their typical division heavyweights. Currently, the Chargers have the best odds (-110), followed by the Chiefs (+270) and Broncos (+320).

Latest News Impacting Raiders Playoff & Super Bowl Chances
- Pete Carroll named head coach: Pete Carroll, after a 14-year run with Seattle that included a Super Bowl title in 2013, officially became the Raiders’ head coach in January on a three-year deal.
- Geno Smith traded from Seattle: The Raiders acquired Geno Smith in March, sending a 2025 third-round pick to the Seahawks. Smith reunites with head coach Pete Carroll and brings experience and leadership to the position. Las Vegas signed him to a multi-year extension based on his success in Seattle and familiarity under Carroll.
- John Spytek hired as GM: The Raiders brought in John Spytek as their new general manager this offseason. Known for his front-office work with Tampa Bay, Spytek steps into the new leadership role with the Raiders as the team looks to reset its roster and long-term direction with new head coach Pete Carroll.
- Veteran offensive line additions: Las Vegas added guard Alex Cappa and drafted Caleb Rogers and Charles Grant to strengthen their line. NFL analysts have suggested the projected starting front five—Miller, Glaze, Powers-Johnson, Parham or Meredith, and Cappa—have the Raiders with one of the better offensive lines in the AFC and a big improvement from the last few seasons.
- Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham retained, Chip Kelly hired: The Raiders brought back Patrick Graham as defensive coordinator, building on a defense that ranked inside the top third of the league in the second half of 2024. Meanwhile, veteran coach Chip Kelly, who was with Ohio State University, was added as offensive coordinator to modernize the attack and has come back to the NFL after multiple stints.
Key Contributors Toward Raiders' Postseason Odds
- Geno Smith: Smith's veteran presence and rapport with Pete Carroll should allow him to anchor the offense and potentially lead the team back into playoff contention. He should be a vast improvement for the Raiders, who have struggled at the quarterback position.
- Ashton Jeanty: The 2025 first-round draft pick will have the offense run through him, especially in a Pete Carroll offense that heavily focuses on the running game.
- Brock Bowers: The 2024 first-round draft exploded out of the gate and was sensational, catching 112 passes for 1195 yards and five touchdowns. Expect him to continue to be a large part of this offense.
- Maxx Crosby: The All-Pro defensive end continues to be one of the most disruptive forces off the edge in the NFL. He should continue to drive quarterback pressures and generate turnovers.

The Raiders’ playoff chances are listed at +300 via DraftKings, implying a roughly 25% probability. These odds place Vegas as a fringe contender, and while odds have improved, they are not a lock for postseason football. Raiders fans should feel hopeful, not hopeless, like in previous seasons.
The Raiders last made the playoffs in the 2021 NFL season, reaching the wild-card round before losing to the Cincinnati Bengals. They have missed the playoffs each year since then. That makes three consecutive seasons without a playoff berth.
