If you read my posts, and apologies if you do, you know I love the rigorous data mining that this site does to determine various odds. I think it is a very credible website.

We are now 52.6% to make the playoffs.

 

Some interesting numbers:

Miami at 3-0 is 48.5%

ATL at 1-2 is 24.6%

SF at 1-2 is 18% (!)

SEA is 99.8% (!)

 

Our next opponents:

Cards 3.2%

Vikes 1.1%

STL 3.2%

Bucs 8.9%

Falcons 24.6%

SF 18.0%

 

Wow!

 

On the flip side: BUF 6.2%

2.9% but somebody has to win.

If we get to 2-2, the chances of finishing .500 or better will be 50%.

I 100% approve of these insane statistics.

Awesome.

What if the Saints die in a plane crash this season, where does that put our chances then?

[RoaringRiot]

Seriously though....why would we be that high?  Because of the level of the teams we're facing soon?  Why would SF be that low?

1.1% chance of a Car-NE Super Bowl rematch :)

It's got to be based on strength of schedule. 

 

Or maybe they factor in how many shutouts each team has posted so far this season ;=)

I think it's interesting but if the playoffs started today we would not be there.  This site has us at 31.01% of making the playoffs.
