Playoff Pulse.
The projected 2026 NFL playoffs. Fourteen teams, seven seeds per conference, the top seed on a first-round bye — seeded from the BBMI model and played forward to a projected Super Bowl champion, Los Angeles Rams. The season is unplayed, so this is a live projection, not a result: no final scores, no graded picks.
Analytics — projected, updates as the season plays outHow to read this: the percentage on each slot is the model’s projected Super Bowl win probability, derived from BBMI ratings and normalized across the fourteen projected playoff teams. Seeds come from projected division winners (1–4) and wild cards (5–7); the higher-rated team is shown advancing in each round. Everything here is a projection and updates as the season plays out — there are no final scores yet.
