It is now possible to project the various match ups for the Wild Card round in the AFC, using my software and the Team Efficiency ratings at Advanced NFL Stats. Here are the projections in the AFC, with the home teams listed in the first column and their probability of facing various opponents listed in each row. The most likely match ups are NY Jets @ Kansas City and Baltimore @ Indianapolis, but there are still many other match ups in play. I’ll break down the NFC match ups after the Tuesday Night Football game.

San Francisco’s interesting situation

December 23rd, 2010

The 49ers are still in the thick of the NFC West playoff race, with a 35% chance of winning the division. At the same time, they are still mathematically alive to hold the #2 overall pick in the 2011 draft.
