Home teams in the wild card round whose head coach has 8 playoff wins or more as a head coach then his starting QB has a starter in the post-season have finished 4-7 SU & 2-9 ATS s/'78. (The two teams that qualify are the Chiefs and the Cowboys).

Ah, I see
You meant teams that are in the same division
Got that confused with divisional round(that is second round)
lol

Some great info
Both on that stat and the DD favorites
Seems you are leaning heavy with Chiefs and Pats based on this info
Or maybe a coincidence this is what you posted
Anyway...GL

In 14 wild-card matchups between division rivals since 2003, road teams own an 11-3 ATS edge (8-6 SU), including wins by the Rams and Browns a year ago.

Underdogs are on a run of 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 NFC wild-card games.

Those are from NY Post article

NFL playoff teams who won 4 or fewer games last season are 1-8 SU and 0-9 ATS since 1981 when coming off a loss of more than 7 points.

  • Philadelphia Eagles

I rarely pay attention to this kind of stuff... there are "historical" approaches that pick both sides of these games.

Teams that win SU on the road in the wild card round have gone 58-4-1 ATS s/'78.
Good info Lou .... Thanks appreciate it.
The stat you gave that I included looks lopsided but it makes sense because if your on the road in the playoffs your probably the dog so if you win the game you obviously cover. Problem with this one is how do we know which road dogs will win?

Yeah
That is a Marc Lawrence stat
I don't think that stat makes much sense though
Especially the last part of lsoing
They didn't care about that game

Curious how many of those were favorites
And how many got significant points

Dogs always seem to do well in the WC round.

Favorites seem to dominate week 2.

That being said, I'm playing both faves today - fk my life

in the past, 2nd week home fav's were amazing ATS, mainly b/c the best teams had the byes. Now the format is all different with only one bye team

Solid info guys, but remember that none of the applicable games were played at zero degrees. That elemnet can fk with any statistic based on previous results. Just want you all to consider that.

Good luck.

Agree, I am just pointing out that a lot of these stats are ca ca and that there are stats that conflict and support both sides of a game and you have to dig deeper most of the time.

Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers are currently a 12.5 road dog. That's the most points a QB with at least 10+ playoff starts has ever gotten on the road in the wild card round. The next closest was Troy Aikman (whose playoff record was 11-3 going into the game) and the Cowboys when they were 7 point road dogs in Minnesota in the 1999 season. The Vikings won 27-10.

Congratulations to Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Only the third time a QB making his first playoff start at home in the wild card round was favored by 6 points or more and won both SU & ATS. (Joe Theismann and the Redskins in 1982 and Chad Pennington and the Jets in 2002). Other QB's making their first playoff start at home in the wild card round and favored by 6 points or more is an interesting list:

1987 Saints/Bobby Hebert -6.5 vs Vikings: 10-44L
2002 Steelers/Tommy Maddox -8 vs Browns: 36-33W
2004 Chargers/Drew Brees -6.5 vs Jets: 17-20L
2017 Jaguars/Blake Bortles -7 vs. Bills: 10-3W
2018 Bears/Mitch Trubisky -6.5 vs Eagles: 15-16L

Different times, teams and players, coaches, places. I don't put any weight on this sort of information.
Cincy showed that I think.

The last time a team trailed by 16 points at home after the third quarter in a wild card game and won was 2002 when the 49ers came to beat the Giants 39-38 after trailing 22-38 heading into the 4th quarter.
