#5’s not very lucky.

Ahhhhh....5 seed do not make a lawn, grasshopper.

Yah, I got nuthin'

Not a lot of divisions have also had a 12 win and 13 win teams either. Could be 13 and 14 after next Sunday. We will see.

wasn't Dallas a WC when Roger threw the HAIL MARY? What number were they that year, not #1 but still got to the Super Bowl

they were the first wild card team to reach the super bowl.

#4 in the nfc.
minnesota was #1.
the nfc title game we beat the #2 rams.
rams beat #3 st louis and hosted the nfc champ game.

Yah....cept ur trunks don't end up over ur shoulders.

I like it when mine go up over my eyebrows You know it was a good one when that happens Kinda embarrassing in an elevator though

#2 seeds also receive a first round bye, though they will be forced to win on the road if the #1 seed doesn't lose first.

This is inaccurate in the article. But anytime you get a bye and home games of course your probability goes up.

1 Seeds win over 50% SBs

Wouldn't that also mean that 50% lose ????

..lol... that's right. So it's basically 50/50.

1 seeds win the super bowl over 50 percent of the time. The one seeds that don't are the Cowboys.

1 Seeds win over 50% SBs

Those stats don't matter once the playoffs begin.

horrible evaluation since we have cap and pre cap combined.

Just a quick look at that info shows me that since 2000, when the salary cap was firmly entrenched in the NFL, 7 out of 21 SB winners were number 1 seeds. That is quite a drop off and far more relevant to the discussion IMO.

9 of 21 SB winners since 2000 were 3 seeds or below.

 

[cowboysfan99]

Cowboys have won 0% of the Super Bowls when they were the #1 seed this century.

 

[kskboys]

Of course they do. That's why they are the #1 seeds. And to further this, 74.5% of #1 and #2 seeds have won the super bowl.

Same thing in all sports. Even w/ the monstrous college basketball tourney, it's almost always 1 and 2 seeds that win it all.

 

[Reid1boys]

Yet only 7 winners since 2000. Game has changed a lot since. A more accurate measure is how many have won recently when parity has been more of a factor.

I showed the numbers since 2000 and the salary cap was in play. Comparing playoff results and adding precap and post cap together is foolish IMO. They are simply not relevant to each other.

 

[catiii]

That's it we're doomed no use watching anymore games. It's over.

Or since free agency started

There are two #1 seeds each year so on average 75% of them lose.

 

[MyFairLady]

If you are interested in a fun statistical analysis calculate the odds of missing out on the NFC championship game 27 years in a row.

 

[MyFairLady]

Less than 3%.

 

[nalam]

The 7 seed has NEVER won the Super Bowl.

Lol, not yet

We remember Dallas pissing it away a few times. Just say no to "Cabo" before the playoffs.
