With three weeks left in the 2025 NFL regular season, we're starting to get a sense of which teams will be in the playoffs. The Broncos and Rams have clinched berths, but the remaining 12 postseason teams and overall seedings remain a murky mystery.
Every day, we use ESPN's Football Power Index to simulate the season 10,000 times -- driving our projections and delivering countless permutations for how the remainder of the campaign could go. Today, we're going to focus on just one of those scenarios: FPI simulation No. 5,002.
We asked the FPI to simulate the last three weeks of the season and come up with the most likely field of 14 playoff teams and the exact seeding order for those teams within each conference.
