I’m predicting that if we average 21 points a game over the next 4 games we will make the playoffs. And if we do not…then we won’t.
It is almost a given that this team will need to achieve 10 wins to make the playoffs.
If this proves to be true, then we can only give up 1 loss in the next 4 games. And 2 of those games are on the road.
In looking at our 7 wins, the Offensive averaged a total of 27 points per game. And this average includes a 16 point output earlier in the year against the Giants (which is pulling the average down).
In the 5 losses, our defensive has averaged 13 points per game.
Based on this trend, I believe that wins and losses over the next 4 games is going to be directly tied to how well our offense performs. Specifically, whether or not they can put points on the board.
6 of the 7 wins came against the following defenses. And the lowest output amongst these 6 games was the 19 points put up against Detroit.
Following is the rating of the scoring defenses for each of those 5 opponents that make up those 6 wins (Philly was played twice)
San Francisco – 3rd to last in scoring defense.
Arizona – 5th to last in scoring defense
Philadelphia – 8th to last in scoring defense
Detroit – 18th in scoring defense
San Diego – 12th in scoring defense.
Following are the defensive (scoring) ratings on our next 4 opponents.
Kansas City – 21st Scoring Defense
Washington – 13th scoring Defense
Carolina – 3rd Scoring Defense
St Louis – Last
