Software For Predicting NFL Playoffs

I previously wrote about sites that offer NFL playoff projection odds.

Today, I found this site that has a downloadable Java-based playoff scenario predictor. It’s pretty nifty – it allows you to set the odds of specific teams winning particular games, based on your own predictions and biases.

The site also has a page that lists the current playoff scenario projection.
