PLAYOFF and SUPER BOWL PROJECTIONS

Goode's Winning Index
8 Divisional Charts

New for this season is our stat research group's GOODE'S WINNING INDEX number. Eight factors on offense and D are included in this one stat. It is even more accurate than Killer Stat II. Check the stat graphic each week for your fav team's ranking within your division. Are they the strongest in the division? If so they are likely to make the playoffs. If not at the top are they competitive, i.e., how many Points Behind the Leader? And did they get stronger this season? Check the Points Change column.

To reach the Super Bowl your team must FIRST win the race for the playoffs on this most important Killer Stat WINNING INDEX. Monday morn it is the first STAT VALUE to check (see STAT VALUE, tables below) to project their Games Won record.

Check it every Monday.

In the first few weeks the INDEX will run hot 'n cold. But it will settle down by the 3rd or 4th week. Barring serious injuries to playmakers, fans can have the satisfaction of thinking their fav team is playoff bound. A few years back, for example, the top 12 teams on the INDEX won the playoff race. It's a most reliable indicator.

Over the last 7 seasons Super Bowl winners averaged 0.90, playoff teams 0.55.
