How are Sportskeeda's NFL Playoff chances calculated?
Sportskeeda uses a sophisticated approach to analyzing NFL playoff chances that combines several key elements. This methodology helps us to analyze various factors to understand a team's potential for making the postseason.
Firstly, we utilize weekly NFL power rankings to gauge the relative strength of each team.
Secondly, we employ our algorithm to simulate the remaining games, incorporating factors such as team matchups and historical performance data. These simulations, executed an extensive 100,000 times, provide a comprehensive picture of potential outcomes, including clinching scenarios for various playoff spots.
Through this process, we are able to generate insights into the probability of each team making it to the playoffs and also visualize potential playoff pictures in later stages.
