 So what we did is we took each team and their success how many games they won last season Okay, and then we factor in Pro football focus and their free agency grades for each team We factored in pro football focus and their draft grades for each team So if a team improved overall in the offseason that increased their chances of winning a given game If they didn't improve this offseason that decreased their chances given Whichever game they're gonna be playing and winning a game So this was all put into a numeric value of formula And we put this all into an excel sheet to simulate the NFL season to give you guys a Concept and an idea of which teams are gonna be making the postseason Which teams are not gonna be making the NFL playoffs. We took every NFL team, right? And then we sort this in alphabetical order You see the 49ers bears all the way down to the Washington football team. We took Which teams are gonna be playing all 17 teams that they're gonna be playing and then we simulated Which team was gonna win before I get into this don't get upset. Okay? This is just a very very very rough draft. This is all computer simulated. Okay This is all based off of analytics. Okay. What this is missing is the human element to this Okay, as far as we know Patrick Mahomes might tears ACL in week one the chiefs could go 0-17 We didn't want to factor in the human element into this. There's no way of doing that So this is a very very rough draft of what might happen in this NFL season So keep that in mind. This is not gonna be 100% accurate and if it is I'm gonna be very very surprised Okay, I'm gonna laugh with you at this computer simulation because I'm like this team is the playoffs this team made the playoffs Yeah, it's it doesn't make a lot of sense, but this is just based off of analytics. So let me go back to that schedule So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and read off not every NFL team but You're gonna see that The games that they're playing against so for instance the 49ers right here. You have them playing the Seattle Seahawks That is highlighted green because both those games against the Seattle Seahawks when we simulated it Supposedly the 49ers won both those games The Seattle Seahawks had a higher chance of winning those games But it was just the luck of the draw that the 49ers won those games And it's all a luck to the draw because every NFL season every given Sunday as a matter of fact the upset team Could win you never know there's always gonna be two three four upsets every week in the NFL That's why we love it. So the 49ers does can be an upset right there. So there's a lot of that Okay, so and a lot of division games as well were split as you can tell the bangles upsetting the Steelers But then also losing to the Steelers. There's a lot of division games are tougher and closer in the NFL. So That's the reason behind that but what I'm gonna do is I'm not gonna read off every NFL game Okay, I'm not gonna say who beat who You know if you want to pause this at any point if you guys are watching this on YouTube go ahead do it But what I'm gonna do instead is I'm going to sort this by their projected NFL record Okay, so after simulating all these games who ended up with the best NFL record And that is gonna be the Arizona Cardinals ended up with the best NFL record Now the best record based off this computer simulation was just 12 and 5 You saw that the Indianapolis Colts which Sean mentioned as a surprise team could be another team That could end up going 12 and 5 the Patriots as well with all their offensive weapons So like I said, this takes into free agency and draft as well And I believe that the the Patriots got an a According to pro football focus in the draft and an a and free agency as well So that helped their chances of winning a lot of games So I kind of put it side by side by their 2020 record and the difference of games that they're winning So for instance, the biggest jump would probably be the Atlanta Falcons This is all computer simulated unbiased They're going 10 and 7 as opposed to 4 and 12 last season And then the biggest drop-off I believe is the Pittsburgh Steelers believe it or not. I know I know I it's Luck of the draw. Okay, I necessarily don't agree with it But the Pittsburgh Steelers 6 and 11 according to this computer simulation So with all that said what I'm gonna do real quick is I'm gonna show you As you guys are looking at the NFL records of each of these teams I'm gonna show you the NFL playoff picture based off of this computer simulation So we go to the playoff picture and what you have right here now Is the NFC playoffs and the AFC playoffs starting off with the NFC playoffs? You've got The Arizona Cardinals being the number one seeded team They got the first round by by winning the NFC West the Buccaneers went in the South Giants winning the East they tied with the Dallas Cowboys, but I believe the Giants they might have split in the simulation or Something happened like to where I think it was the Giants had a better division record That's what it was like the only loss was against the Dallas Cowboys So they would eventually be the NFC East winners The the Packers went in the NFC North but look at the record right here 9 and 8 and is that because of Aaron Rodgers that pro football focus factored in the free agency game or Is it because they just have a very really tough schedule and the odds were up against them in winning these games But nonetheless, they are NFC North champions and making it in as the number four seed the Atlanta Falcons a Wildcard team The Cowboys a wildcard team and then your only Saints a wildcard team So those are your top seven since there are seven seeds in the NFL now barely missing it Just by a game you've got the Rams the Vikings the Seahawks the Washington football team It was a four-way tie at that point But that's the order at that point So it'd be surprising to see the Seahawks miss the playoffs the Rams as well I would have figured that they put a lot of effort into their offense and For them to miss it would be surprising But hey, maybe these teams just surprise us for instance the Atlanta Falcons could be that surprise team for the NFC playoffs and then obviously you've got the 49ers the Bears missing it eight and nine Eagles seven and ten the Lions six and eleven with Dan Campbell and then the Panthers unfortunately go in five and twelve AFC playoffs Looking down the AFC side This is where it's gonna get a little bit surprising and you guys might laugh and dislike this video if you want I don't care The Colts got the first round by with the South the Patriots won the AFC East at a 12 and 5 record after skid Simulating this the Browns AFC North champions over the Pittsburgh Steelers 11 and 6 the Chargers over the Chiefs With Justin Herbert in all of them winning the AFC West At 11 and 6 down below that the fifth seed wild card the Chiefs don't make it in that's okay But they're gonna be missing out on that division title That doesn't matter that much because they're gonna be facing the Chargers and the playoff race Then you got the Titans make the wild card spot At nine and eight and the Denver Broncos the surprise team is gonna be making the wild card at the seven seed so Okay, let's talk about that. Why are the Denver Broncos in at the number seven slot? listen, that's because The grade that they got in a free agency was an a-plus the grade that they got in the draft I think was like an a-minus or a the Miami Dolphins Barely missed out talking about the teams that missed it now. Here we go. Here we go the Buffalo Bills The ninth seed and the ASC playoff race. I don't necessarily agree with that But when I simulated the games if you want to go back to the bills schedule right here Let's go ahead and take a look at that What do we got the bills right here? Okay, they lose to the Titans and upset loss of the Texans when I simulated it beat the Jaguars obviously The Steelers they beat them Washington football team. They lost to them the Chiefs that lost to them So it's like some of them make sense. Some of them don't the Indianapolis Colts They lost again or they won against the Saints they beat The Bucks they lost against the Falcons they lost against you know You look at this schedule and it's like, okay Some of these games make a little bit of sense some of these don't but I believe when I was simulating these games It was the bills the Browns and the Chiefs those three teams had the highest probability of winning their games out of any NFL team and it just so happened to be that the bills got the short end of the stick and Even though they had one of the highest possibilities probabilities they lost But going back to the playoff picture. Yeah, the bills They lose out on that opportunity to make the playoff race the Bengals the Ravens Raiders all in a three-way title Make it a seven and ten. So they kind of improve with Joe Burrow. This is Santa Bengals make it seven and ten The Ravens kind of fell off. I don't see John Harbaugh just because he's such a good coach Getting this far or losing out to seven and ten, but hey, it could happen the Steelers That's also another big one Mike Tomlin. I just don't envision that happening So the bills the Ravens the Steelers are the questionable ones the AFC playoff race The Jets the Texans the Jaguars you see two and 15 is the worst record in the NFL That makes a little bit more sense. They need a lot of help On their roster now. Here's the fun part. Let me full screen this What we wanted to do with this was take every NFL playoff picture and simulate it if it were the NFL playoffs Playing in January So you got to see some games being stimulated and we're gonna give you an eventual Super Bowl winner Rough draft by the way of who's gonna win in 2021 let's go back Playoff simulation, that's right. Okay, let me explain this because this is kind of hard to read right here But you've got your NFC East or not NFC East but NFC teams in general highlighted in blue You've got your AFC teams highlighted in red so What we did is we took their opponents and who there's gonna be playing so for instance the Buccaneers being the number two seed We're gonna be playing the New Orleans Saints. Who are the number 17? So we put them against the Saints The Saints beat the Buccaneers in our simulation. So we highlighted under the Buccaneers We highlighted them red and there's no Advancement as you can see moving forward from that point and the Buccaneers just stop right there are eliminated and the wild card round The Saints move on to the divisional as you can see that the Buccaneers their game is highlighted green So with the NFC wild card race just Contendering on with that you have the Giants the Cowboys facing the Giants ended up losing to the Cowboys and the Cowboys ended up Advancing and then the Falcons of the Packers faced off and a wild card matchup and the Packers won so the Falcons fairy tale NFC playoff Appearance is over at that point Go with AFC You've got the Colts getting the first round by so the Cardinals got the first round by for the NFC By the way, just a preface the Colts got the first round by the Patriots and the Broncos faced off All right, and the Patriots beat the Broncos so the Broncos fairy tale Comes to an end against the New England Patriots Bill Belchick the Patriots move on to the divisional round The Titans and the Browns faced off and the Titans ended up beating the Browns So the Titans move on and then you had the Chiefs and the Chargers AFC West matchup Listen the Chargers already got the upset and winning the division and they're gonna get the upset again and beating the Chiefs and Moving on to the divisional round so divisional round NFC The Cardinals number one seed face the New Orleans Saints when matched up against them going to the computer it ended up being the Cardinals that won and the Saints were eliminated by the divisional round Then with the Cowboys and the Packers it ended up being the Packers Lost to the Cowboys Surprisingly and the Cowboys advanced to the NFC championship to face the Arizona Cardinals now for the AFC We got the Titans and the Chargers or the Colts the number one seed facing the Titans Who they ended up losing to in the Titans will advance now the Chargers will face the Patriots and The Chargers ended up winning that matchup and the Patriots are eliminated as you can see it's highlighted red So now the AFC championship is gonna be between the Titans and the Chargers Now let's go back to the energy championships your final four at this point Cowboys Cardinals Titans Chargers Between the Cowboys and the Cardinals you see it's highlighted green the Cardinals Ended up winning that matchup. Let me go ahead and bring that over so you guys can see that easier The Cardinals ended up winning that matchup in advance to the Super Bowl Cowboys as you can see lost that matchup AFC Championship Titans and Chargers Justin Herbert Ryan Tannehill the Titans ended up beating the Chargers and advancing to the Super Bowl So now you're Super Bowl it that's gonna be played and LA is gonna be between the Titans and the Cardinals NFC side the Cardinals AFC side the Titans and simulating that your eventual Super Bowl winner The Tennessee Titans Hey, there's a lot of surprises in the simulation But the Titans at they ended up being the Cardinals could be your Super Bowl champions according to this simulation That kind of gives me hope because I picked up Madden again and I playing franchise mode And I'm taking over for the Tennessee Titans and trying to get to the Super Bowl So if this is telling me anything it means that my team is gonna make the Super Bowl But Mike Vrabel and Ryan Tannehill Derek Henry in that run game that defense lost some good corners But they made up for it in the NFL draft. They could be making some strides in going to the Super Bowl So leave your thoughts leave your comments down below Let me know if you feel like that the Titans and the Cardinals facing against each other is a realistic matchup for this Super Bowl Could happen
