Stats in the Wild

Here is a fun plot that I made showing number of wins vs probability (according to fivethirtyeight.com).  The 7-6 Bears, who just beat the 6-7 Cowboys last night, are probably going to miss the playoffs.  The, let me repeat this, 6-7 Cowboys are probably going to HOST a home playoff game.  I love it.  What I’m really rooting for though is for Washington to win the NFC East, get a home playoff game, and get blown out by 80.  That’s what I want for Christmas.  Thought what I really want to see someday is a team get a home playoff game with a 3-13 record!  It’s theoretically possible!
