NFL Playoff Probability Changes
Those poor Browns fans who were so confident a week ago when their team thumped the Bengals, were headed home to face the Texans and had a chance to take solid control of the AFC North. A loss to the Texans later and the Browns now have just a 22% probability of making the playoffs. So sad. As for the real contenders, the Patriots are now pretty much into wrap up home-field advantage mode. Their Super Bowl probability is up to 31%. The Cardinals have the inside track on the NFC….but must play 4 of their last 6 on the road including next week at Seattle and Week 17 at San Francisco. That leaves room for the Packers to just keep winning and slide right into at least a first-round bye. How bad is the NFC South? The 4-6 Saints have a 50% probability of making the playoffs. Think about that.

Meet the pig who recently popped out 18 piglets. I’m suddenly craving bacon. Sorry.
