Wild Card Round Playoff Thread

[sds23]

I still need to go through the process of completing my normal full capping process for the Wild Card round games. And I am hoping to release full writeups as each game gets capped and played. In the meantime I want to share some information in a couple of other key areas that may affect the outcome of the upcoming games.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Everyone always talks about being "playoff ready" and about who's "hot" and who's "peaking" at the "right time". By now these are all household cliches, but there's also a really good reason that such buzzwords exist and are a staple of the playoff lexicon.<o></o>
<o></o>
Indeed, it does matter how a team enters the playoffs in regard to them being "hot" or "peaking" at the "right time". Perhaps the best kept secret in the NFL for the last 9 weeks has been the Indianapolis Colts and their 9-game winning streak (which was kick started with a win over New England and also includes victories over Pittsburgh, San Diego and Tennessee).<o></o>
<o></o>
And it is precisely this 9-week block of time (i.e., the last half of the season) that I will use here as the benchmark to make some comparisons amongst this weekend's Wild Card round teams and the state in which each enters playoffs.

As you can see from the spreadsheet cells above, ATL is 7~2 in their L9 games (compared to ARI's 5~4 over the L9) and comes in riding a 3-game win streak (compared to ARI's 1-game streak). But most important, ARI has not beaten anyone of significance over their L9 games (while ATL has beaten CAR, SD, TB and MIN during the L9 games).<o></o>

(Not sure why this one got so screwed up in the transfer....)
</o> <o></o>
Here we see PHI is 5~3~1 in their L9 games (compared to MIN's 7~2 over the L9). Neither is on a winning streak (both won in Week 17, but lost in Week 16). In terms of significant wins, these teams are close to being equal, with PHI having defeated ARI, NYG and DAL over the L9 and MIN having beaten one less significant team, but nonetheless 2 of the same teams (ARI and NYG over the L9).<o></o>

The cells above show that IND is 9~0 in their L9 games compared to SD's 5~3 over the L9 games (they had a bye week in Week 9 in case you are wondering). And obviously IND comes in riding a 9-game win streak (as compared to SD's impressive 4-game win streak). But most important, other than a Week 16 victory over TB, I really can’t say that SD has beaten anyone of significance over their L9 games. This pales in comparison to IND having beaten NE, PIT, SD and TEN over the L9 games<o></o>

BAL is 7~2 in their L9 games (compared to MIA's 8~1 over the L9) and comes in only riding a 2-game win streak (compared to MIA's 5-game win streak). Looks pretty impressive for MIA so far, but the final piece of the equation is not satisfactory when comparing significant victories. In this case MIA has not beaten anyone significant over their L9 games (but had a significant loss to NE). And BAL gives off mixed signals with two significant wins over PHI and DAL and also two significant losses against NYG and PIT. More information required (and coming).<o></o>

Thanks SDS...this is great.

Do you place any credence to the theory that SD may have an edge given they have played Indy so well? Beat them in the playoffs last year in Indy and at home earlier. They did lose to Colts on a last second FG this year but Chargers do seem to match-up well with Indy. That said , without Merriman, they are minimized a bit on D from years past.
Nice work ...really helpful

Keep in mind that the spreadsheet info above is merely a quick glance at a few factors. This is certainly not a complete perspective or a finished product by any means.

But to answer your question, I think that SD is 1~3 versus IND since 2005 or something like that (I'd have to look that stat up to be 100% certain). While I do keep things like that in mind, I obviously do not go out of my way to learn such things, nor do I give them a HUGE amount of weight (hence my guess at the 1~3 mark since 2005 and not my 100% certainty of it).

History is very meaningful in the NFL and tends to find a way to repeat itself at times. The key is knowing which hsitory is meaningful and most likely to repeat. But I would never let such a factor scare me away from a solid play or something that appears to be capped properly.

BOL with the WC Round of the playoffs!

ATL v ARI Write-Up

Mike Smith had a simple question for his Atlanta Falcons as they looked ahead to the playoffs:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
"Why not us?" Smith asked.<o></o>
<o></o>
Exactly. Why not ATL? <o></o> <o></o><o></o><o></o>
<o></o><o></o>
The game plan for ATL is pretty clear: run the hell out of the ball and concentrate on defending the pass. Sure, there is plenty to fear when it comes to ARI's aerial attack (after all, it's not often you face not one, not two, but three 1,000 yard / 75 catch WRs on the same team and a former MVP QB who threw for over 4,500 yards). But it precisely ARI's one-dimensional offense and extremely poor defense that will allow ATL to spoil the party in the desert.<o></o>
<o></o>
ATL has only allowed an opposing QB to surpass 300 yards twice this season (Rodgers Brees) and more importantly, ATL has actually done really well against pass-oriented teams this season. They beat teams like GB, NO and SD (GB and SD on the road) and lost a very close one in their 2nd game versus NO (on the road). And please keep in mind that until CAR beat NO at home in Week 17, all NFC South teams were previously undefeated for the entire season at home this year.<o></o>
<o></o>
So I am not overly worried about ATL's ability defensively to try and contain Warner and his Three Amigos. "Contain" being the key word here. You probably won’t stop Warner, but containing him and keeping their offense and game plan one-dimensional will do the job.<o></o>
<o></o>
No, it is ARI's defense that worries me in this contest. Get used to hearing "Michael Turner left" and "Michael Turner up the middle" and "Michael Turner right". Turner must be licking his chops in anticipation of playing an ARI defense that allowed 1,764 yards on the ground this year (110.2 ypg). In fact, those stats almost mirror Turners offensive numbers (1,699 yards) which placed him 2nd in the NFL for rushing.<o></o>
<o></o>
But wait, it gets worse: Rookie phenom QB Matt Ryan should be able to pick apart ARI's 22nd ranked pass defense (221.2 ypg) that is bound to get caught cheating up to stop the run. All in all, I would be shocked to not see ATL shred an ARI's 28th ranked scoring defense (yielding 26.6 ppg) with their effective and balanced offensive attack. Over the final 6 games of the season ARI gave up 37, 48, 10, 35, 47 and 21 points respectively.<o></o>
<o></o>
All in all, ATL's 2nd ranked rush offense (152.7 ypg), 10th ranked scoring offense (24.4 ppg), and 4th ranked passing offense (208.5 ypg) should allow them to not only score in bunches in this particular matchup, but also (and just as importantly) control the clock and the tempo of the ball game. The Falcons are 7~2 in their final 9 games and have done well on the road over the 2nd half of the season (3~1 over the L9 games on the road). In contrast ARI seems to be headed in opposite direction (5~4 over the L9, but only 2~4 over the L6 games).<o></o>
<o></o>
So when viewing ARI's 9~7 season, it is important to keep in mind that 6 of ARI's 9 wins came against the woeful NFC West (that would be the 2~14 Rams, the 4~12 49ers and the 7~9 Seahawks for those scoring at home).<o></o>
<o></o>
On a non-statistical note, but just as important IMHO, is something that emerged when ESPN wrote a profile piece on Kurt Warner that unintentionally revealed a very negative factor in regard to the mental state and overall relationship of the ARI team. It turns out that Warner threw a pool party for his teammates last summer and very (I mean very) few teammates came to his party. Those close to Warner chalked it up as their uneasiness with his religious ways and a misconception that he would use such gatherings to preach his beliefs. But either way, it says a lot about how close (or not close) this team is. This is your QB!<o></o>
<o></o>
And to take that concept one step further, Warner delivered a passionate plea to the team after their Week 17 victory. He begged them to "commit every second of their lives to preparing for the postseason". He begged them. One would hope that such a notion would be obvious to any team preparing for the playoffs, let alone to a team that has waited this long to be a potential contender. But Warner was emphatic with this plea since he knows how highly unpredictable this ARI team is when it comes to preparation and showing up when they need to do so.

SD is 3-1 the last 4 against the Colts.

OMG! I meant to type that. Nice catch Fear. I knew and meant 3~1 and accidently inverted the numbers somehow. Thank you!

 

[sds23]

I think that SD is 1~3 versus IND since 2005 or something like that (I'd have to look that stat up to be 100% certain)

Note: this was meant to read 3~1 (not 1~3). I accidently inverted the numbers somehow.

 

[sds23]

Note: The Dog has covered the last 5 times these teams have met up, the dog won 4 out of the 5 SU.

I am not at all shocked to hear that. Great stuff Fear and thanks once again for catching the 3~1 inversion.

great info, what kind of program are you using excel 2009? nice work on the spread sheets, regarding your outlook on the Vikings would you even count that game vs the giants as the giants rested most of the starters and vikings barely won agaisnt them with a last second field goal I thinkthe eagles take this game by 10 or more points you can bet def coord johnson is going to have a few surprises for the inexperienced qb also I think that philly played the better quality opponts than the vikings did. I'm trying to setup a spreadsheet for nest year and might want to pick your brain if you don't mind

I'm trying to setup a spreadsheet for nest year and might want to pick your brain if you don't mind

I am not sure what year my Excel program is, so out of curiousity I clicked the properties button and although it did not give me a software year, it said it was installed ("created") on my PC in 2004. So I am assuming it is probably a 2002 or 2003 program. But who knows, it could be even older than that.

Anyway, I will be happy to help you in any way that I can. I do indeed use Excel often for creating tables, charts, spreadsheets and etc. But that is about as far as my Excel knowledge goes (formatting and then simply typing in the info).

I use some pretty sophisticated formulas and equations on my capping spreadsheets (essentially they quickly do what I used to do by hand ~ they make quick work of the various math and the calculations behind my capping formulas). However, please don't ask me anything about creating, manipulating or maintaining these Excel formulas, since an IT friend of mine created them all for me several years ago based on my specifications. He has retooled them a few times periodically whenever I needed major modifications made based on updated capping ideas and methods. I occasionally make some minor changes to specific portions of the inputs and formulas (seasonal tweaks to specific statistical inputs and outputs and such). But that is as far as my knowledge with Excel goes. And even then, with the minor changes I make from time to time, my spreadsheets get all screwed up due to the ripple-effect I created to the rest of the spreadsheet (and then of course I call my buddy to come rescue my sheets again).

As far as the NYG game on MIN's schedule, I totally agree with you. As would anyone else. We all know what that game does and does not represent in the grand scheme of things. So, yes, take that into account when thinking about things. Same thing goes with IND over TEN in Week 17.

IND v SD Write-Up<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
There's no question that San Diego is hot. After only winning 4 of their first 12 games, the Chargers have used a 4-game winning streak to sneak into the playoffs with a key Week 17 victory over Denver to ultimately determine their fate.<o></o>
<o></o>
But if San Diego is "hot", then Indianapolis must be the "hottest" team in the NFL right now. After a concerning 3~4 start they finished the regular season 12~4 courtesy of a 9-game winning streak to close the regular season. Their 9-game winning streak began back on November 2nd, with a 18~15 SNF victory against New England. Then the following week Indy went to Pittsburgh, where Peyton Manning threw 3 TDs versus the league's top-ranked pass defense and left town as a 24~20 winner. And they have been riding that wave of momentum and Manning's arm ever since.<o></o>
<o></o>
Manning is getting hot at the exact right moment for the Colts. He had an incredible month of December throwing 8 TDs, zero interceptions and a 110.0 passer-rating over that period of time. Then he closed out his MVP-worthy season against Tennessee with a 7-of-7, 95-yard, 1 TD day and a perfect 158.3 passer rating (the Colts also held a 274-to-30 offensive yard advantage for that first half).<o></o>
<o></o>
If Manning is having his way with the league's best overall defenses and best passing defenses, what in the world is he going to do to the Chargers second-from-last, 31st ranked passing defense? Wide receivers Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison and tight end Dallas Clark are all Pro Bowl-caliber players, each capable of exploiting such a vulnerable pass defense all on their own. This season Manning has once again surpassed the 4,000 yard mark (his 9th straight year doing so) to go along with his 27 TDs, 12 interceptions, 95.0 passer rating and, of great significance, only 14 total sacks the entire season.<o></o>
<o></o>
I hear a lot of people referencing the recent and overall history between these two teams. I know the recent and overall history well. But I don’t see how it will factor significantly with what transpires this weekend. The Chargers lead the overall the series at 15~10. Feel free to slice and dice those wins and losses all day long until you find a grouping or series of wins that pleases you the most. I am only concerned with the very recent history between these two teams. And it is that most recent history that shows the Chargers nipping the Colts twice last season (23~21 in the regular season and then 28~24 in the playoffs). And more recently, Indy gutted out a 23~20 win this season on the road in San Diego. And they did so without the without the help of some key defensive players and an extremely limited Reggie Wayne (who had badly sprained his ankle in Week 11 versus the Texans).<o></o>
<o></o>
And now, after resting defensive ends Dwight Freeny and Robert Mathis, as well as safety Bob Sanders and running back Dominick Rhodes in Week 17 against the Titans, Indy appears ready to field a full and healthy team. In fact, the only player expected to not play is linebacker Gary Bracket, who is still recovering from a fractured leg.<o></o>
<o></o>
The Colts have been playing must win football for two months now. They have won 9 games in a row entering the playoffs, knocking off teams like NE, PIT, SD and TEN along the way. They are used to being on the road and being confronted by hostile crowds. And they know this San Diego team about as well as they know their own divisional foes.
<o></o>
One interesting side note in regard to the recent success that the Chargers have enjoyed over the Colts: They have never really ever stopped Manning (he has thrown for close to 1,000 yards in the past 3 meetings). Instead a lot of their success against Manning, and their close margin wins have come via an absurd number interceptions. But this will be a bit more difficult this time around with the San Diego defensive backs Quentin Jammer, Antonio Cromartie and Antoine Cason combining for a total of just 6 interceptions this season. Hell, last season the Chargers intercepted Manning 6 times (6 times!) in their regular-season matchup and only won by 2 points. I don't anticpate that happening again this weekend.<o></o>
<o></o>
To tell you the truth, I am actually sad that the Chargers are matched up against the Colts this weekend. I was really pulling for San Diego coming down the stretch of the regular season and would have enjoyed seeing them make a deep run into the playoffs. This may be the best matchup of Wild Card weekend, or at the very least the one that I am looking forward to watching the most. But unless the Chargers actually do hold some sort of voo-doo curse over the Colts, I just dont see how Indy will lose this game. Recent history tells us that this will likely be a hard fought, close, tight battle. And perhaps it does indeed come down to a turnover or two. But when push comes to shove, I will take Manning over Rivers and Indy's 5th ranked passing offense versus San Diego's 31st ranked passing defense when the alternative is taking San Diego's 7th ranked passing offense versus Indy's 6th ranked passing defense that is only giving up an average of 18.6 ppg on the season.

SD vs. Indy

Not sure how you guys pick a winner in this one. Flip I coin, I can make a good argument for either side. The piece of #%% running game of Indy s the main reason I think SD can win this game. I like Indy's D better. With that said, if you really followed these teams closely this year both struggled against good teams to score a lot of points. SD scored tons of points vs. crappy teams. I actually really like the under in this one. I figured the number would be inflated to begin with but still be around 46. The under is my play in this one.

AZ vs. ATL

Warner vs. the Rookie. AZ has been sleep walking for a month. Can they wake up? My lean is ATL but if I find out 80% of the public is on ATL I may bet AZ moneyline. Who has this info?


Miami vs. BALT

Sorry, I'm getting lazy. I kind of like BALT here if I can get it at 3 even. That D is for real. Miami really hasn't impressed me all year if you take away that NE win early in the year.


Best of luck guys. Been following the board for a long time now but finally logged in today and posted. Pac 10 FB and BB is my game although I was a solid 3-0 in the NFL Sunday. That was sweet.

Good luck tomorrow. BTW, I love Florida over OK at -3.
