Possible and Simulated Seeds Entering Week 11

Now that we have some teams with a chance to be knocked out of some seedlines, rather than just list the possible seeds, we’re going to approximate the percentage of possible outcomes than result in each seed’s outcomes. Note that this is not a prediction. This is an estimate of the percentage of possible results that yield each seed. Since we only care about possibilities, we approximate this by running 1 million simulations with all 3 results being equally likely - home win, away win, and tie. If an entry is blank, that means the seed is not possible for that team. Also note that due to rounding, the numbers for a team may not add up to exactly 100%

Seed Control Entering Week 11

The seed that a team controls is the worst seed that team could get if they win out. These are often mutually exclusive because it is impossible for teams that play each other in future weeks to both win out. If a team changed controlled seed from last week, last week’s seed is noted in parentheses.

Teams that control the 1 seed:
DET KC

Teams that control the 2 seed:
PHI WAS BUF PIT

Teams that control the 3 seed:
ATL BAL

Teams that control the 4 seed:
ARI SF SEA HOU

Teams that control the 5 seed:
MIN GB(6) LAC

Teams that control the 6 seed:
None!

Teams that control the 7 seed:
CHI(6) DEN(6)

Teams that could win out and still miss the playoffs:
DAL NYG TB NO CAR LAR(4)
MIA NYJ NE CIN(7) CLE IND(7) TEN JAX LV
