So you think Detroit will win at New York and vs. Green Bay and Green Bay will lose to Minnesota at home?

Is this the same site that predicts elections?

Yes, but they're not really predicting who will win, you just pick who you think will win the games and it will tell you who will be in the playoffs based on that scenario.

I thought 538 shut down after they failed so hard over the election.

Did you account for Tom Brady being overrated in your predictions?

They gave trump the best chance over any other model. I am not sure why this meme is still going around

People have been waiting for the lions to fall on their face all year. 13 games in - hasn't happened yet.

You think Green Bay will win three straight divisional games? Not me.

Or you could use ESPNs Playoff Machine which looks and works much better.

Never had to play a 3 game stretch like playing at the Giants, at Dallas and home vs. Green Bay. Lost to Green Bay at home last year and Rodgers is always better inside. Throw in the fact Stafford is hurting and it's very likely they lose all 3 of those games.

I mean they had several articles saying trump could win. Their model clear gave trump a shot, a pretty good one at 1/3.

I really just don't understand why they get any shite compared to realclearpolitics who had Hillary at 98%

Good teams - not exactly the 85 Bears.

Has nothing to do with this year.

He practiced in full all week. He's fine.
