DVOA PLAYOFF ODDS REPORT
Revised as of 1/25/09, results through Week 20
Compiled by Mike Harris
The playoff odds report plays out the season 10,000 times. A random draw assigns each team a win or loss for each game. The probability that a team will be given a win is based on an equation which considers the current WEIGHTED DVOA ratings of the two teams as well as home-field advantage. (DVOA ratings are explained here. WEIGHTED DVOA ratings are adjusted based on which teams sat starters in Week 17.)
