The Green Bay Packers are not out of the playoffs right now; they are still in the NFC playoff race with strong odds to qualify.

Current playoff status

  • Green Bay remains in playoff position in late December 2025, sitting in a wild card spot in the NFC rather than leading the NFC North.
  • They have not been mathematically eliminated, so they still control part of their path with remaining regular-season games.

Odds and seeding picture

  • Recent analyses put the Packers’ playoff chances in the high double-digits (around the upper 80s to mid-90 percent range) depending on the specific week and model.
  • Around mid-December, Green Bay was hovering around the No. 5 seed in the NFC, leading the wild card group behind teams like the Rams, Bears, Eagles, and Buccaneers.

Division vs. wild card

  • A Week 15 loss dropped Green Bay out of first place in the NFC North, with the Chicago Bears reclaiming the top spot in the division.
  • Because of that, the Packers’ most realistic route at the moment is as a wild card team, though a late surge plus help from other results could still affect seeding.

What still matters going forward

  • Remaining games against division rivals such as the Bears and other NFC opponents are especially crucial because of tiebreakers and the tight race for seeding.
  • Losses by other “in the hunt” teams like the Lions, Panthers, or Cowboys can further boost Green Bay’s margin for error, but the Packers still need at least a solid finish to lock in a spot.

Bottom line: the answer to “are the Packers out of the playoffs” is no—they’re still alive and currently in the playoff field, but their final fate depends on how they and a few NFC rivals finish these last games.
