One model, several answers.
The Control Center reuses the same saved FSN season simulation that powers the Playoff Predictor and Rooting Guide. “Mostly in its own hands” describes modeled weekly leverage; it is not an official NFL clinching declaration. Conditional effects are shown separately instead of added together because game outcomes are correlated.
