Just beating the Jets and then the Raiders twice gets us to 7 wins.
If we go 3-3 the rest of the games, that makes 10 wins. I think 9 is probably a realistic expectation, but 10 or even 11 is possible if we catch some breaks against good teams. It's encouraging to see the software say we have a better than average chance to make the playoffs after starting off against such a tough start to the year. |

This is awesome.
Cdcox, would you mind explaining to me (as if I were an idiot) (((which I am))) how your model differs from Nate Silver's? Silver has us at 44%. You have us about 8 points higher. Wondering why. |

I didn't even realize Nate Silver did NFL playoff forecasts, although it isn't surprising given his return to sports. Let me read through his stuff.

You gotta figure the Broncos, Patriots, and Colts will be division winners. I'm guessing the Pats torch the rest of their schedule, meaning that AGAIN, the wild card games will be (a.) in Indy, and (b.) whoever wins that mess of the AFCN. Who's the best matchup for the Chiefs among IND/PIT/BAL/CIN? (I don't believe in Cleveland.) I think the best matchup is Baltimore or Cincinnati, but we can probably take any of those teams to the wire. I'd love another shot at Luck this year. |

Colts will get the 2 seed IMO. After their game vs NE their only tough game left is at Dallas.
