Football probabilities

Last night someone was asking me a question about the football wild-card race. Since it’s the other Dr. Armstrong who does sadisticsstatistics, I punted (sorry) it over to someone who’d give a surer answer.

Generally it goes like I’d expected, but sure enough, Isabel came up with a really slick proof, and also realized why that guy even asked me the question.
