The Chiefs will be pretty hard to beat at home with Berry, Watkins, Ware and all of the actual starting Offensive Line back on the field.

I really hope Sammy Watkins is back for the playoffs because the offense only goes into nuclear mode with him, Conley doesn’t really get open and the coaches won’t play Demarcus Robinson over him

Since I was curious:

West coast teams playing early games since 2010

53.6% Seahawks 15-13
46.9% Chargers 15-17
40% 49ers 14-21
31.7% Cardinals 13-28
31.7% Raiders 13-28

Road games in general:

50.7% Seahawks
43.1% Chargers
37.5% 49ers
37.5% Cardinals
31.9% Raiders

So uh yeah, seems to be a misnomer?

I think it would be better to compare early games to late games on the east coast, since most road games they would be playing would be against their own division.

Conley and Robinson are bad enough to almost make me put WR at the top of my draft wishlist, as Sammy being hurt at some point is a guarantee. Well that and Conley will be gone in FA next year.

One weird thing is the Pats went 4-0 against playoff teams and 7-5 against everyone else.

Of course they played all 4 at home and haven't played a playoff team since halloween, but hey! they just gotta win a lil' ol divisional round game and then they're in the AFC Championship game for the 8th consecutive year.

Not cool.

Eagles made the playoffs :toot:, thanks Bears.

My old flatmate messaged me saying how lucky the Eagles were to get in "On a technicality". That technicality was the Bears playing a full strength team with "nothing to play for at half time"

Texans also -2.5 favorites over the Colts, meaning both the Colts and Chargers would be very slightly favored on a neutral field vs their respective opponents

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

If Philadelphia/Washington was a tie would the Eagles still have been in over the Vikings?

Just wondering if Minnesota getting shithoused by the Bills or Daniel Carlson missing three field goals is the sadder game to point to as the reason they didn't make it.

Can't you say the same thing about it not being a lost game/two ties shouldn't be penalized over a loss? I feel like the half and half split is the only way to do it.

You didnt do well enough to win the game though, therefore shouldnt be put above someone who did win those games.

if it was a points thing over W/L then you would need 3 ties to equal 1 win

The Ravens defense had a bad night and almost blew this goddamned thing a week after crushing Rivers on the road. Off night for the secondary and I'm pretty confident they'll get back in shape going forward.

Ties are counted as half a win and half a loss because standings are technically by win percentage and not raw numbers of wins.

An 8-6-1 team (0.566) with a game cancelled due to weather would get in over a 9-7 (0.563) team in the same division.
