Playoff & Super Bowl Odds

A Monte Carlo simulation of the rest of the season and playoffs, using the same win-probability model behind every prediction on this site, run recursively across a simulated bracket, thousands of times.

30,000 simulated seasons, run 2026-09-08. Team strength is frozen at each team's form as of that date and does not update as real games get played. This is a preseason-style snapshot, not a live weekly page like Standings. See How It Works for what else is simplified (playoff tiebreakers, playoff-game conditions).

"Reach Super Bowl" sums to 200% league-wide (100% per conference, exactly one AFC and one NFC team gets there). "Win It All" sums to 100%: one team wins every simulation. Comparing these against an outside "Super Bowl odds" chart only lines up if it's using the same one of the two.

Vs. a PFF Preseason Graphic

An independent check, not a claim of being right: this project's own model, run the same way, against a well-known outside preseason graphic. Disagreement is expected: different model families reasonably see the league differently.
