Steven Gerrard's side have the boffins believing they are bonafide contenders to lift this season's trophy.
Rangers' form domestically has had the fabled Supercomputer on the verge of discombobulation for months now.
Steven Gerrard's side are undefeated in the Premiership and now their Europa League exploits also have the boffins at FiveThirtyEight seriously impressed.
Rangers thrilling 9-5 aggregate win over Antwerp has them in the last 16 with an exciting clash with fellow underdogs Slavia Prague up next
It won't be easy but few would bet against Gerrard and his achievers going on an extended run in a tournament they are unbeaten in this season.
And former Ibrox skipper Barry Ferguson rightly points out the current team are able to fully concentrate on an extended run in the tournament.
The Premiership title is almost among their grasp and this season's Scottish Cup is no sure thing with Scottish league below the Championship still shut down.
Rangers are serious contenders and Nate Silver's website makes them the seventh most likely team to make the semi-finals out of the 16 teams remaining - the only teams ahead of them are among the biggest on the continent.
The Ibrox side have also been given a 9 per cent chance to make the Final - better than likes of Milan, Olympiacos and the same as big-spending Shakhtar Donestsk.
And the probability Rangers win the tournament is 3 per cent but that number could quickly change if a big hitter like Manchester United or Arsenal exit in the next round.
Molde - 2 per cent / 1 per cent
Dynamo Kiev - 3 per cent / 1 per cent
Dinamo Zagreb - 5 per cent / 2 per cent
Granada - 6 per cent / 2 per cent
Slavia Prague - 6 per cent / 2 per cent
Young Boys - 6 per cent / 2 per cent
Olympiacos - 6 per cent/ 3 per cent
AC Milan - 7 per cent / 3 per cent
Rangers - 9 per cent/ 3 per cent
Shaktar - 9 per cent/ 4 per cent
Tottenham - 19 per cent / 9 per cent
Roma - 20 per cent / 10 per cent
Ajax - 21 per cent / 11 per cent
Villarreal - 22 per cent/ 11 per cent
Arsenal - 23 per cent / 12 per cent
Manchester United - 37 per cent / 24 per cent
