Forecast from
How this works: Our forecast is based on 100,000 simulations of the season and updates after every game. Our model uses Elo ratings (a measure of strength based on head-to-head results and quality of opponent) to calculate teams’ chances of winning their regular-season games and advancing to and through the playoffs. Full methodology »
By Jay Boice and Nate Silver. Additional contributions from Aaron Bycoffe, Ritchie King and K****ij Aranke.
