Great NFL trend for this week

[roccodean]

I always thought that the "must win" teams were bad bets, now I have the stat to prove it. Since 1990, teams that are mathematically out of playoff contention are 83-50-4 ATS in the final 2 weeks of the regular season against teams that must win to keep their playoff hopes alive (i.e. they'd be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss).
This applies to Clev, Oak, KC this week.

Why does this not apply to the following teams as well?

Houston
Pitt & Miami
NY Jets

NE and Cinci are in playoffs. Trend is against teams playing to get in playoffs. Pitt & miami are both mathmatically not eliminated.
