Playoff chances, seeds, rooting guide, etc.
I always think it's fun to watch how our playoff chances shift from week to week as we get closer to the end of the year. Though we don't have cdcox's software to play with this time around, there are a number of websites you can use to get a similar idea of how things will work out.
A couple resources I like: 538.com's predictor updates after very game, includes game win probabilities and probabilities for a variety of playoff scenarios. Based on an Elo model that (if I understand it correctly) basically just looks at end-of-game score differentials compared to predicted differentials to arrive at a power rating of sorts. The New York Times has a simulator kind of like what cdcox's software used to do. It's based on Sagarin ratings, which have a complicated methodology that isn't even entirely known, but it's some sort of model. The nice thing about this one is that you can mess with scenarios to see how they impact our odds. Feel free to post other resources, power rankings, whatever. I mostly just want a place for me to post my random thoughts about the possibilities! |

Look at their season and see how they've won.

So, ummm... what exactly did the NFL do to manipulate the game last night? They hit AJ in the eye with a laser on the last snap?

I am okay with Denver having the 2nd seed. All the better when a team comes to Mile High and rips the Donk's heart out. Donkey fan tears are delicious and I want to see continual shots of Elway's bad fish face. Hope it is the Chiefs.
