It’s due to there being so many teams in the mix. They run thousands of simulations and flames make it 44% of the time.

If there was say only one opponent in the mix below the flames, and it was as it stands now with the flames above them with games in hand, our % would be well over 50.

But with so many teams and outcomes in the air everyone’s odds go down a little.

I bet if you look at the teams chasing us they are well below us % wise
