How We Make These Predictions

We do not pick teams on hunches. The projected matchup is the AFC team and the NFC team with the shortest odds to win the Super Bowl, taken from a major US sportsbook and dated on every table. Records and projected seeds come from the live NFL standings, seeded the way the NFL does it: division leaders 1 to 4, then the three best remaining records.
