The NFL playoffs are here!
Using our experts' consensus team ratings (which power our NFL PRO Projections), we used our model to simulate the postseason 10,000 times to project the results of each round. That projected bracket is outlined in the following graphic.
We've also detailed every team's projected chances to advance to each round and win the Super Bowl based on those simulations.
Let's dive right in.
