Predicted Final Standings

Updated April 9, 2007.

Expected final points is the points I predict each team will finish the year with, based on remaining schedule difficulty as well as win percentage and past schedule difficulty. Sorted by playoff seeding.

These expected points should be taken with a grain of salt. They are an indication of how well each team has played so far compared with how difficult each team’s remaining schedule is. Both of these will change dramatically as more games are played. Early in the year, the largest and smallest values will be obviously unrealistic.
