Playoff Implications - Week 13

Here is your weekly cheat sheet for NFL games with playoff implications. The purpose of this feature is to highlight games that have a big impact on the playoff picture (see this post for background).

Ranking Week 13 Games by Leverage

The table below ranks the week 13 games by total leverage. Leverage in this context is a measure of both how uncertain a game's outcome is (games between evenly matched teams have higher leverage) and how much the playoff picture swings as a result of that outcome.

GameLeverage
ARZ @ PHI 48.2%
GB @ DET 41.3%
PIT @ BAL 33.2%
TEN @ IND 24.2%
STL @ SF 23.0%
CHI @ MIN 22.8%
MIA @ NYJ 20.3%
CIN @ SD 20.2%
RAI @ DAL 18.0%
TB @ CAR 12.5%
JAC @ CLE 3.2%
NYG @ WAS 2.5%
NO @ SEA 0.8%
ATL @ BUF 0.8%
DEN @ KC 0.7%
NE @ TEX 0.3%

Beyond Week 13

I can also use my simulation dataset to look ahead to the remainder of the season and see which games (based on what we know now) will have significant playoff implications. The table below shows the top 10 week 13-17 games by total leverage.
