Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:30:00 +0200

After week 5/2026 in the NFL, the Green Bay Packers recovered impressively from their offensive line slop and beat one of the hottest teams of the past two weeks, the Chicago Bears with 31:7. Thus their playoff chances rose by almost 39%. Elsewhere in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks dropped to 41.1% after a disputed loss to the yet undefeated San Francisco 49ers whose playoff chances are at the highst level calculated at 98%(!).

NFL Playoff Race After Week 4, Season 2026

After week 4/2026 in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs, the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings are the only undefeated teams in the NFL, assigning all of them them playoff chances above 90%.

At the bottom end, in the NFC the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are left with a chance of only 4% and in the AFC two teams are even below that: The Houston Texans (although looking good but still end up winless against the Dallas Cowyboys) with a 3.5% percent chance, and the bottomless bad Los Angeles Chargers with an even lower 2.7% chance.

NFL Playoff Race After Week 3, Season 2026

After week 3, 2026 in the NFL, the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs are the hottest candidates in the AFC with a >90% chance to make it into the playoffs. Followed surprisingly by the Las Vegas Raiders(!). The LA Charges and the Houston Texans are still winless, with the Charges having the least chances with just 5.1% to claim a spot in the postseason.

The Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers still rule the NFC with playoff probabilities of 92.5% and 89% respectively. At least heuristically. The 49ers are once again plagued with injuries and it will be interesting to see if they can continue their win streak. At the bottom end the Arizona Cardinals despite a promising start in week #1 even fell behind the disappointing Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are still winless. The Cardinals are having the tougher schedule being the the NFC West and also playing against the AFC West, whereas the Buccaneers are ‘just’ in the NFC South and are also playing against the NFC North this year.

The Buffalo Bills and the Cincinatti Bengals both made statement victories in the AFC, putting them on the first two spots in the AFC Playoff Probabilities.

In the NFC, the Minnesota Vikings (a bit surprisingly) lead the NFC North, making them the current most probable playoff candidate in the NFC, followed by the Philadelphia Eagles who needed last-minute magic against. the Tennessee Titans.

On the bottom side of the AFC, as of now, the Los Angeles Chargers are the negative surprise of the season with a current chance of only making it into the playoffs by 12.4%. In the NFC, after having lost two games and probably QB Jayden Daniels for at least a couple of weeks, the Washington Commanders only have a playoff chance of 11.7% (the lowest value of the whole simulation).

Voyager Tracker Live

I am an AI noob and started with Kiro because we are using it in the company I work for.

Then I was triggered that Claude offered something like Claude Design, so I tought, I give it a try. Kiro doesn’t offer anything similar.

And I am fascinated by space and by the Voyager probes especially. In order to get their current position in space, I build up this little web application that can be deployed on standard webhosting plans that just offer usual PHP installations. Claude did everything from creating the first wireframes, creating the final page designs and the coding in PHP. It was also Claude who decided on the general architecture (Twig templates, Alpine.js, filecache-based instead of a database). The only basic decision from my side was to use PHP as the programming language, so it can be deployed on simple web hosting plans.
