By Keith Myers
It is time to take at look at the current NFL playoff odds for all 32 NFL teams. The NFL season is now a quarter of the way complete, and there have been some clear trends that provide some insight into how this season is going to unfold.
Two different methods for calculating playoff odds are used here. The first is a classic model from Sports Club Stats that primarily uses wins, losses, point differential and opponents to determine the likelihood of a team making the playoffs.
The second method, from Prediction Machine, is a much more complex method that produced weighted odds for team. This model takes into account not just wins, but also how those were achieved. By using a wide array of stats to compile their odds, their prediction model is supposed to be more accurate.
It is time to take a look at each division and see how each and every team’s playoff hopes currently look.
