The updated Super Bowl probabilities are out. Despite the #1 vs. #2 match-ups in week 16, there aren't any big changes this week. The big drop-off between the top 5 and everyone else is mostly due to two factors: 1) just clinching a playoff spot, and 2) getting a first round bye.
Do the bye teams' chances reflect any advantage beyond needing one fewer game? That is, is there any adjustment for the week off, on top of a normal home-field advantage?
