Percentage changes of making playoffs per opponent - Housh - 12-06-2023
So i found a cool site that generates a % chance to make playoffs based off of our next 5 opponents
The good thing is this site lets you pick and choose which games we’ll win and lose and it gives a %.
So you can see our estimated % chance if we for example only beat Pittsburg and Cleveland
So brace for this guys
If we win out, the site gives us a 99% chance of making playoffs
If we beat everyone BUT the Chiefs we still have an 82% chance.
Just beating Pittsburg and Cleveland and flat out losing all the other games gives us a 10% chance.
So……
The only real chance is by winning 4 out of our last 5.
If we had Burrow I’d say this is doable. I’d say winning all 5 is doable with Burrow but 4/5 is gonna be tough. He benefitted from Jax having no tape on his tendencies. By the time we play Cleveland and Pittsburg they are gonna have weeks of tape on Jake and Jake is just gonna need to play well.
