D'oh! My bad. I normally do this in the morning before anyone else is at work, and it takes ten minutes or so and I can write everything out. I didn't get to work first today (mmm...sleep...) so I tried to rush through it.

| #6 Posted on 25.10.05 1220.41 Reposted on: 25.10.12 1221.21 | I hate to pile on, but I think technically Carolina should be #6, because between divisional teams, it doesn't have the 4 game minimum for the common games tiebreaker to apply. Therefore, in the tiebreaker for 4-2 wild card teams, Philadelphia wins over New York (G) because they are 1-1 in common games, while New York is 0-2. And then between Carolina and Philadelphia, Carolina makes it over Philadelphia because of their 3-1 conference record. Philadelphia ends up 7th, and New York ends up 8th. | JayJayDean

And because I was curious (remember how poorly the NFC was doing against the AFC last year?) I decided to work up the game totals.
AFC: 50-53 overall
NFC: 52-49 overall
Head to Head: NFC winning at 17-15
Pretty even so far this season. | The Thrill

I've been ignoring this season and it seem to have worked out the way it did the last time I ignored a season... the Bucs are kicking ass.
Now a question, is it because they are actually GOOD this year, or are they just getting REALLY lucky?

FootballOutsiders.com has some advanced metrics for ranking football teams (as well as players). By their numbers, Tampa Bay is lucky for several reasons (they are ranked # 11).
1. The schedule. They beat 3 of the NFC North teams, the highest ranked of which is Detroit at #20, and beat the offensively inept Miami and Buffalo, then lost to Old Man Testaverde's Jets.
2. They're getting lucky with fumbles. They have had 8 fumbles, and lost only 2. Meanwhile, their opponents have had 13 fumbles and lost 8. Fumbles are recovered by the offense about 50% of the time, which means if the Bucs had average luck, it would be a net change of 4 turnovers in 6 games. Nearly a turnover a game is a big deal when you are in as many close games as the Bucs seem to be. Their luck will change, and when it does, close wins become close loses.
The defense is good, don't get me wrong. But how they do with the untested Chris Simms at QB remains to be seen. | drjayphd
