The Raiders game next week: a game so inconsequential if we beat Buffalo...
...that if we lose it, we somehow mathematically end up with a better chance of winning the #5 seed in the playoffs?
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...&kc-oak-17=win If you simulate the Chiefs running the table for the rest of the season, they end up with a 66% chance of landing the 5 seed. If you simulate them winning every game for the rest of the season EXCEPT visiting Oakland next week, their odds jump to nearly 80% sure to lock up the 5 seed. What the hell is going on here?

40% chance the Chiefs win the division by winning out.

I'm looking at all of the remaining games as.. consequential. We have a fair shot at the postseason, even if we have two more losses of these six games. 9-7 should do it.

89% chance the Chiefs make the playoffs by winning all of their remaining home games & losing both road games.

For crying out loud people. You're fans. This "all wins are important" and "one game at a time" crap doesn't affect you.
This is a thread about weird statistics. You're not an NFL player for ****'s sake. You're a spectator. Aren't you the least bit curious about this weird fuzzy math? It's not about, "The Raiders game improves our chances of the best wildcard seed so we should lose it duhr huhr huhr" |
