Giants to win NFC East, Jets 3rd in AFC East: Harvard study

Harvard isn't exactly known for producing tons of NFL talent, but one Ivy Leaguer could make a name for himself with football predictions.

Kurt Bullard — writing for the student-run Harvard Sports Analysis Collective — created a way to estimate NFL team strength, and according to his new prediction model, the Seahawks (95%) have the greatest chance to make the playoffs next season.

The Giants (42%) would win the NFC East, but the Jets would fall behind the Dolphins (77%) and the Patriots (62%) in the AFC East, Bullard said.

Rex Ryan's Bills team (43%) would finish last in its division.
