Knockout probabilities are updated as the game progresses, based on ESPN Analytics live win probabilities and its NFL Soccer Power Index projections.
The probability of a direct win in a game measures many factors, including score, time remaining, position on the field, distance, team/opponent strength and venue.
These live probabilities are used by the FPI season predictions, which simulate the season based on each team’s strength, fixture, and tie rules.
The result is a live representation of a team’s different knockout, division, and seeding opportunities, along with an up-to-date forecast for the final standings.
