Was dicking around with this and I couldn't find many losses for the Texans. They have the feel of that team.nobody wants to play, a la the 2019 Titans.


What I'm saying is Lamar deserves a nice play off run and none of those silly upstarts should ruin it for my special boy.

Guys i'm having a hard time contextualizing the 70-20 MIA-DEN game.

First it was "miami has a historically good offense" then wait no theyre not bad but they certainly arent historical

Then it was "denver has a historically bad defense" then wait no theyre on a 5-0 streak on the back of their defense

Like what combination of factors coalesced to break the yards record?

If you tell it "go by win percentages" it puts the Eagles at 16-1, Lions at 15-2, Chiefs and Ravens at 14-3, and Browns at 13-3-1. I... have doubts.

Also why do the Lions win a tiebreaker with the Eagles for the #1 seed? They don't have a head-to-head, the Lions win if you simulate identical records within the conference, the Lions didn't play the Jets so I don't see how it can be common opponents... strength of schedule?

So far it's looking like McDaniel is an incredible scheme guy so the Phins at the beginning of the year were doing a bunch of cool poo poo that no one had tape on yet with an entirely healthy offense. On the other side Denver was working under an entirely new coaching staff still figuring out how to utilize everyone and get buy-in. Then you layer in the whole playing in Miami when it's hot out bit and yea.

The Phins offense looking less good now is a combo of the their interior o-line being dead (especially their center) and just playing better teams. Denver meanwhile has Sean Payton who does actually know how to coach so given some time to get used to his new team they've steadily improved.

I think it was just one of those days where Denver's defense never showed up. The Dolphins weren't even trying to put up 70, a lot of their points came from long runs with their backups in. Denver just couldn't be bothered to stop it.

Without researching conference wins possibly? That's a hard path, they both have two wins against the AFC, the Eagles would have to beat the Bills and then drop enough games the rest of the way against NFC opponents. But it could possibly come into play.

Achane is also legit a top 5 back when he's healthy and Denver had zero idea that was the case beforehand.

I think it's gotta be strength of schedule or something, because if you let the Lions win out, the result changes depending on who the Eagles lose to.

Eagles lose to Bills, Niners, Giants, or Cardinals: Eagles #1 seed
Eagles lose to Cowboys or Seahawks: Lions #1 seed

This is extremely fucky and now I'm fascinated.

Yeah I was wrong anyway, the Lions do have 3 wins over AFC teams so they can't like, get past the Eagles on NFC wins. SoS does seem like my best idea off the top of my head.

Click "Tiebreakers" in the top-right.




To expand on this:

SoV is just "add up the records of teams you defeated". So if the Lions win out, the Eagles must drop 1 for them tie on overall record.

If the Eagles beat Arizona but lose to Dallas, their SoV decreases because Arizona has a worse record.

That's why the tiebreaker will sometimes put Philly ahead, and other times Detroit.

When I used to make the Playoff Races threads, I had a simple spreadsheet that tallied SoS and SoV throughout the season, making it easier to find the tipping point in a race that mignt come down to SoV.

Fiddling with the playoff scenario site... hmm.

Weird that it puts Detroit ahead if Philly loses to Dallas, but keeps Philly ahead if Philly loses to San Fran. San Fran should be a bigger contributor to SoV.

Eh, bottom line is once you're past common opponents Tiebreakers, you want to have defeated the toughest teams of a tougher schedule.

IMO there's something wrong with how they're tabulating SoV, but I wouldn't be able to guess what exactly.

But list would be fine if the Niners and Hawks switched places, so behind the scenes maybe a spreadsheet is referring to the wrong cell lol.
