These are not even close to accurate. These numbers are probably assuming every possible scenario has an equal chance of happening.

 

If buffalo and pittsburgh lose which they most likely will playing backups, we are basically guaranteed to play Cleveland.

I agree. The percentages in the OP seem way off.  It would be nice to see what it looks like based on a weighted chance of success by each team.

Why do ppl insist on playing a division opponent in the playoff's? That is not what you want to hope for, not at all...

Worked well for the Bills during the Super Bowl years.  We always owned Miami, no matter when we played them.

I am not good at math, but if I had the time, I would probably base my predictions like this (chances of winning):

 

1) Bills/Dolphins: (60/40 bills)

2) Browns/Steelers (50/50)

3) Colts/jags (100/0 colts)

4)titans/Texans (70/30 titans)

5) ravens/Bengals (80/20 ravens)
