-- WEEK 17 #NFL 🏈 Playoff Leverage --

Here you can see

1.) how the playoff probability of each team changes depending on whether they win or lose the next game,

and

2.) the combined playoff leverage of the teams involved in each game, sorted by kickoff time.

-- 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?

With last night's games, the #NBA circle of parity is now complete!

How to read this:
Going clockwise (starting wherever you want) every team has beaten the next team that's beaten the next team and so on until it circles back.

Apparently, the Steelers kicked off from the 50, kicked it out of bounds, and it started at the 25. That might be the solution, deliberately kick out of bounds if you get the ball for a kickoff from the 50.
There's a bit of a problem with the new kickoff and penalties.

If the defense gets a 15-yard penalty on the conversion try, the offense then kicks off from the 50.

It's very difficult to put it into the landing zone from the 50. Essentially this forces a touchback and helps the penalized team.

With their 39-38 victory, the Jets have now completed the 2025 #NFL circle of parity!

NFL schedule weirdness that I just happened to discover. The Titans are playing 4 home games (!) between weeks 9 and 13, with a bye in week 10. I couldn't find any such 4-game home game streak between 1999 and today.

Here we have the lowest and highest series conversion rates we have seen so far in the nflfastR era (1999 until today)

Does unit investment pay off?
Here is how much NFL teams spend on their units in 2025 vs. their respective PFF grades through week 6.
(You don't want your team in the red area which means "expensive and below average")

@hadley.nz is there an option in pkgdown to list reexports in the reference index? I am aware of the reexports site, e.g. dplyr.tidyverse.org/reference/re...,
but those don’t appear on the index.

I would like to have those on the index for cases where I outsource functions to separate packages.

Has Chase Daniel already complained that the Chiefs lost because the kickoff landed half a yard short of a made-up landing zone?
don’t want that hilarious game-winning drive to overshadow that harrison butker booting the ball out of bounds set the whole thing up
