Queue Up, N.F.L. Fans! Assessing the Prospects for Your Beloved Team
The New York Times’s data-driven site, The Upshot, has developed an NFL Playoff Simulator to help football fans calculate their team’s chances of making the playoffs. The tool simulates game outcomes using the NFL’s tiebreaking procedures and team schedules and scores. It can estimate playoff probabilities for every team, as well as the odds of clinching a first-round bye, earning a wild-card berth, or winning a division. While the simulator isn’t a prediction tool, it provides fans with a fun way to think about their team’s playoff chances based on different outcome scenarios.
