Interesting NFL Stat

[BillMill71]

I heard this morning since the current Playoff format was in place only 13% of teams that start 0-2 have made the playoffs. That would mean only 1 or 2 of the list below. Assuming Non Playoff teams win at maximum 8 games, that means these teams have at minimum 6 more losses in their future over the next 14 games. So that being said if any of the following teams were a favorite would there be a statistical advantage in taking the dogs against them?

The current 2-0 teams are:

Buffalo
Miami
NYJ
KC
Oak
Philly
NYG
Atlanta
NO
STL

Any thoughts or feedback?

people!!!

Hard pressed to see any of those teams make it into playoffs based on 1st 2 games...I'd guess NO & maybe a team from AFC east(NYJ, Buff, Mia) might be the 1 or 2 teams to get in...

The only ones I can see turning it around are NO and Philly

No way Buffalo or Miami get in...Jets, NO, Philly maybe....

But it is WAY to early to be sure of anyhting.....

I heard the same thing on ESPN or somewhere last night.

If the law of averages hold true 1 of the above teams could still make the playoffs. Of the teams listed about the only team with a would be Saints. They play in a pretty weak division. The top two teams in their division is 1-1.

scratch ALL the above IMO....kapt

Loser teams will be underdogs, unless they're suppose to win, in which case they'll be favorites and probably win. In other words, I don't think it's relevant at all. There will be upsets on both ends.

Really? Huh. Ok. I thought assuming that 9 out of these 10 teams would lose 58% or more of their games, looking at games they are favored, the dogs they face may prove statistically beneficial. Not solely on its own merit, but as another piece of information

Such as this week. 6 out of these 10 teams are favorites. And mayeb you would need to take ML to prove profitable, but see below:

Mai +3: Probably not as I think most thought the NYJ would lose their first two

Minn +2.5: This I say may hold value against KC

Cleveland +3: This may hold value as well

Detroit +6.5: Maybe here

Wash +4: Maybe here

Tenn +4.5: I think NO maybe the one to make the playoffs out of these 10


Just throwing it out there
