Trends
PLAYOFF trends are difficult: there just are not that many games to look at. The following table shows how home teams have done facing away teams off certain results:
| Factors |
Home Spread W-L |
Home Spread Win% |
| Away team off Upset win |
14-6 |
70% |
| Away team off 10+ point win |
19-9 |
68% |
| -all round two games- |
34-24 |
59% |
Not that this constitutes a great deal of meaningful data, but based on this table there are some combinations that have been some distance from the 50% expected value. Certain teams may be worth a closer look:
- Chicago face an away team _Carolina_ that was an upset winner and won by more than 10 points
- Seattle face an away team _Washington_ that was an upset winner
- Denver face an away team _New England_ that won by more than 10 points
- Indianapolis face an away team _Pittsburgh_ that won by more than 10 points
