I've done some additional work on the whole
112 days before the Super Bowl thing...
UPDATED RAW DATA at the end of the post.
In my previous post I told you what all SB winners
did, whether they won, lost, tied, or didn't play, on the Sunday
that was 112 days before their SBs...
Now I've added what each SB LOSER did on the Sunday
112 days prior to their SBs, and I've added the general game times
of both the SB winners and SB losers...
As for game times I either did MNF (Monday Night Football),
and these are games that were 111 days + the end date before
the Super Bowl, 1PM, 4PM, or 8PM, although some of the
exact times are different, e.g. 1:05PM or 8:25PM etc, and a few
that were like 12:30PM or 7:30PM, well I just rounded.
SB WINNER PLAYING IN THE 4PM SLOTOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB WINNER,
played the late game, the 4PM game, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
10 times
...10 out of 48 or 20% of the time.
If we add in the 8PM time slot then it's:
11 times
...11 out of 48 or 22% of the time.
Now, if we also add in the MNF games, remembering that these
are the ones that were 111 days + the end date prior to the SB,
then it is:
15 times
...15 out of 48 or 31 % of the time.
SB WINNER PLAYING IN THE 1PM SLOTOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB WINNER,
played the early game, the 1PM games, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
28 times
...28 out of 48 or 58% of the time.
So it seems far more likely that the SB winner plays
in the 1PM time slot on the Sunday that is 112 days
prior to the SB, as opposed to the late games slot.
SB WINNER WINNING IN THE 1PM SLOTOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB WINNER,
has played in the 1PM slot AND WON, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
24 times
...24 out of 48 or 50% of the time.
So, this year, week 6, there are NINE 1PM games...
barring any ties there will be NINE WINNERS,
and you could say there's a 50% chance ONE of those
nine will WIN the SB...
SB LOSER WINNING IN THE 1PM SLOTout of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB LOSER,
has played in the 1PM slot, AND WON, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
17 times
...17 out of 48 or 35% of the time.
I'm not good with percentages. This year, week 6,
we have nine 1PM games... barring ties we'll have nine winners...
...50% of the time in history one of those winners wins the SB, and,
...35% of the time in history one of those winners loses the SB, so,
why doesn't that mean that you could look at those nine winners
from the 1PM slot this year and say it's an 85% chance at least
ONE of them will be in the SB? Or can you?
SB WINNER LOSING IN THE 1PM SLOTOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB WINNER,
has played in the 1PM slot, AND LOST, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
4 times
...4 out of 48 or 8% of the time.
SB LOSER LOSING IN THE 1PM SLOTout of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB LOSER,
has played in the 1PM slot, AND LOST, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
3 times
...3 out of 48 or 6% of the time.
BOTH SB TEAMS PLAYING IN THE 1PM SLOTOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, BOTH SB TEAMS,
both played in the 1PM slot, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
12 times
...12 out of 48 or 25% of the time.
and of those 12, 7 times BOTH teams WON
and 5 times ONE won and ONE lost.
Never did both lose. So if the SB match up this year
comes from two of the nine week 6 losers, that would be a first.
SB WINNER WINNING IN THE 4PM SLOTOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB WINNER,
has played in the 4PM slot, AND WON, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
6 times
...6 out of 48 or 12% of the time.
SB WINNER LOSING IN THE 4PM SLOTout of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB WINNER,
has played in the 4PM slot, AND LOST, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
3 times
...3 out of 48 or 6% of the time.
and that means,
out of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB WINNER,
has played in the 4PM slot, AND TIED, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
1 time
...1 time out of 48 or 2% of the time.
SB LOSER WINNING, losing, tieing, IN THE 4PM SLOTOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB LOSER,
has played in the 4PM slot, AND WON, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
12 times
...12 out of 48 or 25% of the time.
and they LOST on the 112 days Sunday in the 4PM slot:
4 times
...4 out of 48 or 8% of the time
and they TIED on the 112 days Sunday in the 4PM slot:
1 time
...1 out of 48 or 2% of the time.
BOTH SB TEAMS PLAYED THE 4PM SlotOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, BOTH SB TEAMS,
have played in the 4PM slot, on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
3 times
...3 out of 48 or 6% of the time.
all 3 times BOTH teams WON.
So this year, week 6, if the SB match up comes from
the three 4PM losers, that would be a first.
SB WINNER/LOSER PLAYING MNFOut of 48 SBs with game times recorded, the SB WINNER,
has played on MNF, and 111 days + end date
prior to their SB:
4 times
...4 out of 48 or 8% of the time.
...and the SB LOSER has done it,
5 times
...5 out of 48 or 10% of the time.
extra note- of those 9 total times,
4 have been for prime numbered SBs...
GENERAL SB LOSER STUFFThe SB LOSER has played and WON on the Sunday that was
112 days prior to their SB:
38 times.
played and LOST
10 times.
played and TIED
1 time.
and didn't even play
3 times (1 due to strike, 2 due to BYE week)
and like the WINNERS, the SB LOSER very rarely
is on a .500 or losing record after the 112 days Sunday...
it's happened like twice in modern era.
SOOOOO... basically, if after week 6 this year,
if a team has played on that Sunday and win or lose
comes out of it with a .500 or losing record, they are
probably not making the SB.
for a team in that situation, that LOSES on that 112 days Sunday,
for them to go and WIN the SB, that would be
the first...
but for a team in that situation, that LOSES on that Sunday
to even just make the SB, it's only happened twice before.
(SB20 and SB30)
Man there's so much more we could do with this.
But anyway...
here's the raw data, and cheers!
