Remaining Schedule

[supafly]

They are favored in every game with the lowest one being the denver game at 52%. Multiplying the win percentage for each game results in about a 10% chance (according to them), pats go 16-0.

I think fivethirtyeight is a reputable source. If they're 12-0 with four games left, then I'll start paying attention. In the meantime, it's just something for us fans to hope for.

As they mention, 10 percent isn't exactly something of a lock. Then again, it's about the same odds of a GB/NE Super Bowl, and some have already chiseled that in stone.

Am I the only one that thinks this would be a little anti climactic? I mean it's like someone is going to be 19-0 by default.

Having two 18-0 teams in the SB would be fantastic, as long as the Pats are one of them

 

[1960Pats]

Not by default but this year has some bizarre strength of schedule alignments. Seems like some strong teams have extremely weak schedules such as Green Bay. Pats have a slightly stronger schedule but they look like they are on a mission and probably have 3 tough games ahead of them.

Everyone understands that "any given Sunday" can happen and that going undefeated is historically a low percentage possibility but given the way these teams have played it's understandable that we are entertaining the possibility.

I don't think anyone puts it in a must do category rather it would be just a nice additional accomplishment to shove in Roger's face if it happened. IMO

As of right now, using the fail safe 1960Pats strength of schedule formula, these are the 1-32 SOS rankings for the undefeated teams;

Patriots - 20
Packers - 24
Cincy - 25
Panthers - 28
Broncos - T30

The remaining SOS has yet to be determined, but I'll check it out anyway and then...

What makes you think the packers won't? Just curious to the logic. I don't think they will either. They have Denver,Carolina and Arizona left to play and all on the road. Plus if Dallas is healthy that could be a tough one for them.

For what it's worth, Vegas considers the Packers the favorite by between 3 and 4 points against both Carolina and Denver.

I want to achieve a 16-0 season and win our final regular season game in Miami.....so Don Shula and members of the 72' Dolphins can sit and watch as we take our turn at making history...again

wont matter to them, they will just say we cheated and keep jerking off to the 72 banner

ESPN has the Patriots at 6.7% chance of finishing at 16 - 0, best chance of the 3 unbeatens in the NFL

the most anti-climactic 19-0 in the history of the NFL

IC, I'm not sure what you mean by that?

outside of the fact that it would be the only 19-0 means that it would be the most/least anything.......in other words, not much
