According to PFF simulations, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a 75% chance of making the playoffs if they win in Week 10. However, their chances drop to 42% if they lose.
The playoff landscape is expected to change throughout the remainder of the season. To understand these changes, it is helpful to examine the projected playoff picture, which shows each team's estimated probability of qualifying for the postseason.
The following charts illustrate the playoff chances of each team and the playoff leverage, meaning the difference in their chances after a win or a loss. Team logos represent current playoff probabilities, with points to the right showing chances after a win and points to the left reflecting chances after a loss.
"The logos show the current playoff chances. The points to the right of the logos indicate the chances after a win, and the points to the left indicate the chances after a loss."
The projections provide a dynamic view of how critical each game is for playoff positioning.
Summary: Playoff probabilities shift significantly with each game, highlighting the impact of Week 10 outcomes on teams' postseason prospects.
