The playoffs are here, and initial predictions are now available. Let’s see what’s in store for the Wild Card Weekend.

Right now, the model is confident in 1 game and has picked 2 underdogs it thinks can get the job done.

Heading into the playoffs, you now have the model’s full-season performance for each team to help inform your confidence. For the twelve playoff teams playing this weekend, across the entire regular season, our model’s predicted scores were off by an average of just 7.89 points (roughly one score). As we enter the playoffs, we expect that number to shrink even further due to the competitive nature and overall skill level of the teams.

As a reminder, predictions update throughout the week as kickoff approaches, so keep an eye on injuries and roster moves, as they may shift projections.

We are looking forward to going Rogue with the first week of playoff football!
