Every game uses the pre-line forecast: team ratings and home field, plus rest, travel and any announced starters or injuries for games in the next few weeks. Each simulation also shifts every team’s rating by a random amount (standard deviation 80 Elo) because ratings are estimates and teams change. Ties in the standings are broken by coin flip, not the league’s tiebreaker rules.

Four division winners (seeded 1–4) and three wild cards per conference make the playoffs, and the top seed gets a bye. Playoff games are single games at the higher seed; the Super Bowl is neutral. Simulated games never end in a tie.

Records are simulation averages, rounded. The range is the middle 80% of simulated win totals; when past seasons were re-run from their quarter, half and three-quarter marks, final win totals landed inside it 83% of the time.
