Yeah, we know Bill Parcells said “You are what your record says you are.”

But which to teams do you feel are not what their record says they are?

Better than record: Cardinals only because Kyler Murray is back

Worse than record: Steelers whose luck will run out any week now. Right guys? Any week now.

    According to the Pythagorean record, which estimates how teams ‘should’ have done based on their point differential, here are the results.

    Luckiest teams in the N.F.L. (Teams worse than their current record):

    1. Pittsburgh Steelers. Should be 4—5, but are actually 6—3.
    2. Philadelphia Eagles. Should be 6—3, but are actually 8—1.
    3. Detroit Lions. Should be 5—4, but are actually 7—2.
    4. Seattle Seahawks. Should be 4—5, but are actually 6—3.
    5. Jacksonville Jaguars. Should be 5—4, but are actually 6—3.

    Unluckiest teams in the N.F.L. (Teams better than their current record):

    1. Buffalo Bills. Should be 7—3, but are actually 5—5.
    2. Green Bay Packers. Should be 4—5, but are actually 3—6.
    3. Carolina Panthers. Should be 2—7, but are actually 1—8.
    4. San Francisco 49ers. Should be 7—2, but are actually 6—3.
    5. Los Angeles Chargers. Should be 5—4, but are actually 4—5.

    Meanwhile, the teams almost spot—on with their predicted records are the Indianapolis Colts (5—5) and the Houston Texans (5—4).

      Surprised no one mentioned the Seahawks yet. We are 6-3 with a -1 point differential
