Geo-Rooting is the concept of rooting for the geographically closest team to the current location.

This map shows closest team (stadium location) by county in contiguous U.S.

Enjoy the playoffs!

Interview season might be the fastest-evolving news landscape in the NFL year.

I love it - even though I don't wish anyone to lose their job.

It's NFL job interview season, and I'll be posting daily updates on the current status.

Each NFL team's regular season point differential in the Super Bowl era through the 2025 season.

The Seahawks and Texans have reached new high points, while the Raiders and Jets have nearly matched their worst seasons ever.

I'm sure Steelers fans won't have any problem with the record being broken in Week 18.
Myles Garrett made history by recording 23 sacks in a single season. Here is the list of games and how he arrived at the number 23.

With the 14 remaining #NFL 🏈 games, there are
2^14 = 16,384 Week 18 outcome combinations (ignoring ties). If we calculate playoff seeds for all combinations, we get the following results.

It was only today that I realized the Jaguars could still get any seed except #4.

-- WEEK 16 #NFL 🏈 Seeding Probabilities --

For many teams, it is practically certain that they will play in the playoffs. This makes the question of possible seeds more interesting.
The following table shows seed probabilities based on 50k simulations of the remaining season.

Thought experiment:
Imagine the Chargers and the Rams make it to the championship game and have home field advantage. What would the NFL do then? Schedule one of the two games on Saturday or Monday?
