Super Bowl LIX Projection, Week 16, Sunday

Detroit over Kansas City

No one clinched any new playoff spots on Sunday, but Arizona, New Orleans, Dallas, and San Francisco were all eliminated, clearing up the NFC a little bit. 3 teams are already in, leaving 6 to fight for 4 spots, and Green Bay could grab one or those with a win on Monday. Things got even weirder in the AFC, with Buffalo the most likely Super Bowl winner, but Kansas City still the most likely to make it to the Super Bowl. That's the power of that first round bye.

Super Bowl LIX Projection, Week 16, Saturday

Detroit over Kansas City

Kansas City's win in the early game took the wind out of Pittsburgh's sails, eliminating them from getting the #1 seed. It's now down to Buffalo or Kansas City in the AFC. Pittsburgh went on to lose, allowing Baltimore to clinch a playoff berth, and the lead in division-winning chances. Also, after many weeks of Detroit and Buffalo, we finally have a change in the projection. It's interesting because head to head, Buffalo would project to beat Kansas City, and both are already in the playoffs. But, the fact that Kansas City is in the bye position means they have a much greater chance of making it to the second weekend of the playoffs right now, and that increased chance cascades all the way through to the end.

Super Bowl LIX Projection, Week 16, Thursday

Detroit over Buffalo

The LA Chargers beat Denver to take both teams to 9-6 on Thursday. Neither has clinched a playoff spot but both are very close. They won't clinch on Saturday, but could on Sunday, wrapping up the AFC playoff picture except for the seeding. Of interest on Saturday, 2 of the 3 possible #1 seeds are playing. Kansas City is the most likely to get the bye, and they play Houston, who is already in as a division winner, but will wind up somewhere between the #2 and #4 seed. Pittsburgh has an outside chance at the #1 seed still, and they'll play Baltimore, who could still win the NFC North, or miss the playoffs completely.

Super Bowl LIX Projection, Week 15, Final

Detroit over Buffalo

The double Monday Night games didn't gain us any more playoff teams or eliminations, so everything stays pretty much the same. We do show Green Bay eliminated from the NFC North, but a tie between Detroit and Minnesota later could leave that window open for them.

Super Bowl LIX Projection, Week 15, Sunday

Detroit over Buffalo

We had a possible Super Bowl Prematch, a word I just made up. I had Detroit favored to win, and still would, but Buffalo won by scoring 48 of the 90(!) points in that game. Minnesota and Pittsburgh are into the playoffs, along with Houston winning the AFC South. Meanwhile, Carolina eliminated themselves with a loss, and Chicago has been eliminated by some combination of wins that raised the minimum bar for the #7 NFC seed. So now we've got 7 teams in, 9 teams out, 7 spots left up for grabs, and 9 eliminations to go.

Super Bowl LIX Projection, Week 15, Thursday

Detroit over Buffalo

A touchdown-free game between two middling teams didn't do much except falsely eliminate San Francisco from the division in my standings. I believe a tie between Seattle and the LA Rams (and a bunch of other games going correctly) would allow San Francisco to still win the division.

Detroit over Buffalo

Detroit clinched their playoff spot with a win on Thursday, but can't quite grab a division spot because of Minnesota right behind them. We should see a few more teams in and a few more out on Sunday.
