More Season & Super Bowl Musings

Teams whose names relate to the season number they
are in for the 2018 season.

"Ravens" = 83 (83 is the 23rd prime)
in 23rd season.

"Seattle Seahawks" = 43
in 43rd season.
(won a SB w/43 pts)

"Cincinnati" = 51
in 51st season.

"Los Angeles Chargers" = 107 (17) (17th prime is 59)
in 59th season.

"Colts" = 66
in 66th season.

"Cleveland Browns" = 70
in 70th season.

"49ers" = 73 ('49' calculated as 49)  "49ers" = 21 (49 not calculated)
in 73rd season. (73 is the 21st prime)

"Lions" = 24  "Detroit Lions" = 164
in 89th season. (89 is the 24th prime. 89th prime is 461 (461/164))


So we might be tempted to say all of those teams will do well this year.
But let's check it back, as if we were doing this before previous seasons.
This is just what I happened to recognize and figure up as I worked on the current season.

Hits:

"Jaguars" = 23
made AFC CHMP in 23rd season.

"Atlanta Falcons" = 239 (239 is 52nd prime)
made playoffs, won a game, in 52nd season.
"Atlanta" = 15
made SB in 51st season... 15/51

"Minnesota Vikings" = 75
made NFC CHMP in 57th season... 75/57

"New England Patriots" = 269 (269 is 57th prime)
won SB in 57th season.


Maybe hits:

"Seahawks" = 42
missed playoffs in 42nd season.
(had winning record, just missed)

"Washington Redskins" = 85
missed playoffs in 85th season.
(had winning record, and a tie)


Misses:

"Bills" = 54
missed playoffs in 54th season.
(losing record, last place)

"Oakland" = 58
missed playoffs in 58th season.
(losing record but not last place)

"Dolphins" = 52
missed playoffs in 52nd season.
(losing record but not last place)


Hit or Miss or What:

"New York" = 39
(Giants) missed playoffs in 93rd season
(famously disastrous season... 93/39)


Would be interested in checking this back all the way.

In betweeners

Here's something that occurred to me earlier today.
So far there have been six Super Bowls in between prime numbered Super Bowls.
For example, SB03 and SB05 are both prime numbers... SB04 was in between.

The in between prime SBs are:
SB04, SB06, SB12, SB18, SB30, and SB42

ALL but one of those involved an NFC EAST team.

All but the first one, SB04, featured an NFC EAST team.
SB04 was the last SB played before the AFL/NFL merger was complete.
So maybe that's why it's special and doesn't fit this pattern?

In other words ALL SBs in between prime numbered SBs
have feat. the NFC EAST since the modern era began.

If this pattern holds then SB060 will feature an NFC EAST team.


Ok, just some thoughts.
Cheers!
