NFL Playoff Predictions - 2019

With the NFL season over and the playoff field set, it's time to check out every team's odds of advancing through the playoffs and winning the ultimate prize, and I will also be making my own picks. Out of the 12 teams to make the playoffs, the only one to end the regular season with a loss was New Orleans, who did not play their starters in the season's final game. I have entered every score from the season into my formula, then analyzed every possible matchup to determine the odds of every team advancing through each round.
