BobPOUND! Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Looks like we can lose to the Texan's or the Panther's and then go out the rest of the way and have a 40 to 50% chance of making the playoffs. But if we lose to any of the other 3, out chances plummet to 25%.. Lose more than 1 and it goes to 1%.. GOALS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 A win is 82%, a tie keeps us with 75% (both scenarios winning all remaining teams). A tie would be nice. Your beloved soccer fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gernthefish Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Maybe I'm over-analizing this, but does the % of scenarios mean the same thing as probability? If the Browns make the playoffs in 40% of the scenarios, does this mean they have a 40% chance? I'm not a statistician, but thinking this is probably not the case.

Nah, that 40% chance of making the playoffs involves winning out and about every other team in the hunt judiciously losing at the right time. Some of those losses are unlikely.
