About the simulator
With 16 games remaining, there are 65,536 different ways the N.F.L. regular season could end.
So we built this simulator. Most calculators force you to choose the winners of each remaining game. Here, you can choose the outcomes of just a few games and see how your team’s chances grow or shrink.
We estimate odds by randomly simulating the remainder of the season thousands of times and counting how often the Cardinals make the playoffs.
If you don’t specify an outcome for a particular game, we use an Elo rating system combined with information from betting markets to estimate each team’s chances of winning. (For simplicity, we assume each game has an equally small chance — one in 200 — of ending in a tie.)
