How the numbers are made
The site rates every team from its results this season. It then plays out the rest of the schedule 50,000 times and applies the NFL tiebreaking procedures to every finish. A team's playoff chance is the share of those seasons in which it qualified.
Clinched and eliminated teams are worked out separately, by checking every result that is still possible. The method was tested on the 2021 to 2025 seasons before launch. The full method and the test results are on How it works.
Where the data comes from
Every number starts from the season's schedule, scores and standings. The How it works page names the source. The site is updated after every game window, and each page shows the time of its last update.
