NFL Playoff Probabilities
The Cincinnati Bengals now have an 84% probability of making the playoffs and 22% probability of making SB50. That’s the best in the AFC. Meanwhile, over in the NFC, the Atlanta Falcons are at the same probability. Bengals-Falcons Super Bowl? Nah. The middle of the pack teams are a mess. The Raiders have a 32% probability of making the playoffs even though they just lost to the Bears. The Redskins – yes, the Redskins – now have a 30% probability. The Bills are at 33%.
What does “play like a No. 1” mean?
Ohio State keeps winning. They came into the season a unanimous No. 1 and keep winning, but all I hear is that they aren’t playing like a No. 1. Whatever that means. So put them 4th. Put both Big 12 teams at 1-2. Now the people who were bitching about Ohio State’s schedule say they’re not playing like the top team. Remember, it doesn’t matter. Play like the 4th best team in the nation, get into the playoff and then do your thing. I’ve said it for five weeks now: survive and advance. That’s all you have to do. Doesn’t matter if it’s pretty.
