We are heavy favorites for the NFC West. Thank you, Raiders. Thank you Defense.

1. I don’t really understand 85% chance for division, but 41% chance for 3 seed

   Vikings are 2 games ahead and bucs are 2 games behind with 6 games remaining

   Vikings have an easy schedule with only jets and giants being the winning teams. Say they lose those 2 games, they’ll still be 13-4. We’d have to win out to match that

   Bucs schedule is alright, with saints, 49ers, bengals, cardinals, falcons and panthers remaining. I don’t see them catching us either

   So if we have 85% chance to win division, shouldn’t it be like 70% to finish as 3 seed?

   Either way I’m happy for the 3 seed. We avoid 1 seed in the divisional round, and we likely get the giants or commanders on wildcard weekend

2. Far cry from the “season is spiraling” feelings after losing the Broncos, and Falcons.

3. I did some quick math of my own and if our defense continues this shutout streak the rest of the year, we have a 100% probability of winning the Superbowl.

4. 96 feels too high IMO with their schedule. They don’t really have a gimme game until week 18 with Arizona.

5. If you want this site always has cool data

6. If our odds increase by another 7% this week, we’re a *lock!*
