Superbowl LII Projection, Divisional Sunday

Jacksonville over Philadelphia

I wasn't expecting my Superbowl favorite to change this week, but I see now why it did. Jacksonville had one of the tougher games, so had a much lower shot of making the AFC Championship than New England did. Now that they're both in, I'm favoring Jacksonville just slightly. However, if I were to consider home field advantage, and gave home teams just a 50.9% average generically, the projection would flip to New England. Home teams were .566 this year, so consider that projection to have a very wide confidence interval. All 4 teams are actually pretty evenly matched, and as you can see they're all pretty close to an even 1 in 4 chance of winning it all.

So who am I rooting for now?

Jacksonville at New England:
Jacksonville, mostly because I'll look like a genius if my pick comes through.

Minnesota at Philadelphia:
This is a tough one. Most years I'd probably root for the Eagles. I even have an Eagles hat for some reason. But, I think it'd be cool to see the first Superbowl team to play in their own stadium. Just for the curiosity of it, I'll root for Minnesota.
