adam Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 So thru a quarter of the season, the Bears are 3-1 and have a 52% chance to make the playoffs. The NFC East will only send one team, so the competition is going to come from the West and South. After TB, NO has a 72.6% to make the playoffs, which would put them in the #2 Wild Card slot. In the West, after Seattle, LAR has a 72.8% chance to make the playoffs for the #1 Wild Card slot. So the Bears are the WC3 slot (7th) ahead of SF at 40% and ARZ at 33%, both teams are 2-2. What is interesting is we faced the #1 DVOA team last week against IND (they are now 4th), and will face TB who is now #1 this week. So we are definitely hitting a gauntlet right now. Our defense is still in the top 10 (7th) but our offense is 27th and Special Teams is 30th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Trying to remember, is this the year they play an extra game? And more teams allowed into the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They added a 7th team per conference (3rd WC Team) and only the #1 seed gets a first round bye, the remaining 6 play (DIV2 vs WC3, DIV3 vs WC2, DIV4 vs WC1) in the first round. Then the 3 winners and the #1 seed play the two games in the Divisional Round. So ultimately they added one additional WC Game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
