In Week 15, Sunday Night Football feels like a playoff elimination game between a pair of NFC East rivals, and it’s a game that teams all across the conference will be watching closely. The Washington Commanders host the New York Giants in prime time tonight, with the winner taking a firm grasp of a playoff spot and the loser left to scratch and claw for their playoff lives.
Playoff probabilities show just how critical this game is for both teams. According to Fivethirtyeight.com, the Commanders’ playoff chances are an excellent 93% if they win tonight, but but that number drops to just 41% with a loss.
