Playoff Scenario Calculator

Pick a winner for any remaining game to see how it changes seeding -- projected live using the real NFL tiebreaker chain (head-to-head, division/conference record, common games, strength of victory/schedule, points and touchdown differentials). Deep, rarely-reached tiebreakers that depend on a final score fall back to real games only, since a hypothetical pick has no fabricated score. Two steps at the very tail of the chain are simplified: multi-club head-to-head doesn't require an equal number of meetings, and common games needs one shared opponent rather than the NFL's four, since a Madden-length season doesn't guarantee four.
