Looking at the last 10 games, the Patriots are far and away the best team using DVOA.
Not saying I agree that's the case in reality, but the numbers like the Pats, especially right now.

Yeah, I mean, it's hard to argue w/ a 150 pt point differential. The Patriots are kicking ass right now.
Now I think a BIG part of that is a soft schedule, but the numbers are what the numbers are.
And looking at Buffalo's slate, as well as some of the tie-breaker scenarios, there's a WAY better chance that they miss the playoffs outright than there is that they get the 1 seed, IMO. They're in a world of trouble here. They need to win 4 of 5 w/ the Colts having the tie-breaker over them. I don't think 10-7 gets them in - I think they'll need 11.
I just don't see them doing that with the way their schedule sets up.
