Super Bowl LVI Projection, Week 8, Sunday

Buffalo over Arizona

Buffalo has virtually tied Arizona in strength. The difference is even less than the 0.001 shown here, 0.66636 to 0.66541. So, my projection flips again. I'm currently running 2 billion simulations per gameday, and I'm seeing the first blanks in my results, although not the ones shown here. At 0-8, no simulation had Detroit taking the #1 seed. I'm not sure if it's possible or not, but they already lost to LA and Green Bay, and still have to play Arizona, all 7-1 teams. LA still has to play Arizona and Green Bay, so those 3 teams will have to get at least 2 more total wins, or a win and 2 ties, or 4 ties, which are all effectively the same in the standings. I also forgot to mark the playoff thresholds reached, so I'll go back and start with the first team to hit 99%, Arizona, even though they have fallen back below that thanks to some strong games by their division rivals this week.
