Updated: Sep 16, 2021
Let's take a look at how our graphs held up with the real life results of Week 1 in the NFL. (AFC/NFC East)
Who won: Philly, Miami
Who lost: Dallas, Buffalo, Washington, NY Jets, New England, NY Giants
So, 75% of East Division teams lost in he NFL's kickoff week. Let's take a look at the graphs we developed for the long run, not just opening week. That's key because numbers in sports and in general tend to balance out over a long period of time, even if things start out rough. Just ask Toronto's baseball team and their run differential.
