The San Francisco 49ers have arrived.
According to our Bet Labs model — which simulates the rest of the season 10,000 times — Jimmy Garoppolo and Co. now have the second-best chance to win the Super Bowl after routing the Los Angeles Rams, 20-7, on the road. Of course that also means our model favors the Niners to win the NFC West.
We'll dig into every team's odds to make the playoffs and much more below, but first, here are a couple more key takeaways:
- With the Kansas City Chiefs losing their second straight game, the New England Patriots now have an 87.81%% to finish as the AFC's 1-seed. The Chiefs' chances fell all the way from to 20.69% heading into the week to 3.39%%.
- The Miami Dolphins failed to convert a potential game-tying two-point attempt in the final seconds of their 17-16 loss to Washington, elevating their chances to land the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft all the way to 75.31%.
Now let's take a quick look at the teams that'd be in the playoffs if the season ended today before diving into our 1-32 playoff rankings. You can also sift through every team's chances to secure specific playoff seeding and much more in the table at the very end of this story.
