I mostly create and post NFL graphics that (hopefully) help people to understand the game better. I also create apps for my more popular graphics so anyone can get them, without needing to request them from me.

Remember to tag me when you post them!

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.

With defensive pass interference penalties of 40 and 46 yards, Riley Moss is the Chiefs' leading receiver today.

NFC Conference Standings!

Two weeks ago, the Packers and Eagles were the 1st and 2nd ranked teams. They just played on MNF. The Eagles squeaked out a 10-7 victory to maintain their top seeding.

The Lions have been all over the place, but jumped up to 3rd after a decisive win over the Commanders.

AFC Conference Standings!

Colts have maintained a strangle-hold on the #1 seed, despite some recent struggles.
The Broncos have clawed their way up to 2nd.
The Chiefs--who are the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl--are 8th.
The Titans have been the most consistently ranked team.

Here is how the odds for teams with greater than 5% SB probability have moved over time.

The Bills have fallen from grace, and hard.
The Chiefs took over that spot in a big way, then tanked due to Chiefs loss vs Bills.
The Rams have steadily climbed week after week until now they're second.

Can Your Team Win the Super Bowl?

The Chiefs--who got spanked by the Bills in week 9, went on bye, and are currently ranked 8th in the AFC, thus not in the playoffs--are the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl.

The aforementioned Bills have the 7th best odds.

This has been a weird season...

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....

52.6% of Bo Nix's air yards have been uncatchable this season.

No other quarterback with 150 or more pass attempts is over 50% per @ftnfantasy.com.

Just a quick reminder that fully 35.7% of all in-season trades happen on the trade deadline.

We're at Day Zero, people! Get your typing fingers stretched out and ready.
If we limit the data to the 2017-2024 seasons, there have been 74 trades in the 8 days leading up to and including the deadline.

That's an average of 9.25 trades per year.

Who's your predictions for the other 8.25 trades?

Chiefs have an opportunity to double-dip this week, for the 4th time this season.

It's KC @ BUF!!!

These two teams are ranked very similarly. On O and D, KC edges BUF out on overall EPA, but it's close. Both D's struggle against the run. KC has best success rate overall and passing. BUF has significant edge at creating explosives plays, while KC has been better at limiting them.

Tight end. If you see a way to get 87's successor, you do it.
What position could Veach trade for that would absolutely have us all collectively scratching our heads, but is somewhat realistic? CB? WR? G?

Chiefs @ Bills Injury Report:

Both teams missing starters. Chiefs LT Simmons is missing for the 4th straight game. His backup, Jaylon Moore, is questionable. RG Trey Smith is also questionable, so Chiefs OL pretty banged up right now.

Bills missing a couple major pieces on defense, plus Palmer.

Breece Hall if his game-winning touchdown pass convinced the Jets not to trade him:

Pillboxes! WAS @ KC

KC used 7 OL on Hunt's first 4th down conversion.
Pacheco with only one down that wasn't 1st or 2nd.
I think B.Smith had his lowest ration of snaps to touches this game.
Rice and Worthy both with completely full workloads.
Thornton is basically completely phased out.

NFC Seeding Chart!

The Packers remain atop the standings, while the 49ers have finally fallen (from 2nd to 7th).

Bakers Bucs rise to 3rd place this week, after from 1st to 4th last week.

Those Darn(old) Seahawks continue to stick around, climbing to their highest seed of the season at 4th.
