Washington Commanders Chances to Win vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Commanders have a 36.91% chance to beat the Bucs. Their chances are calculated using implied probability based on odds from DraftKings. Here is how it is calculated for each team using +160 odds for the Commanders and -192 odds for the Bucs:
Commanders chances: 100 ÷ (160 + 100) * 100 = 38.46%
Bucs chances: 192 ÷ (192 + 100) * 100 = 65.75%
However, the above percentages add up to 104.21%. This is due to the vig, which is the house edge for the sportsbook which allows them to profit off the bet. To remove the vig, we simply divide each team's chance by 104.21.
Commanders chances (after vig): 38.46 ÷ 104.21 = 36.91%
Bucs chances (after vig): 65.75 ÷ 104.21 = 63.09%
Note that both of the final team chances above finally equal 100%. Hence, the 36.91% chance to win for the Commanders.
