NFL: Why Do The NFL Schedule Makers Hate Atlanta?

[RnB]

It is very interesting work, GJ compiling the data. I don't know how much more work and analysis would be required for it to be considered "newsworthy", but this is a good start. Rock is right, there needs to be some correlation between separate data sets (number of times facing teams off bye compared to win/loss record) before the data is actually meaningful.

It is definitely surprising to see such disparity in the data. Whether that disparity has had an actual impact on the NFL is where the real story is.
