NFL power poll
OK, the league’s No. 1 goal for its teams and its regular season is parity.
Balance across all divisions gives every franchise a fighting chance, at least in the wide-eyed optimism that is the preseason and into the first few weeks of September. But know this: If your team is 0-2 they have a 12 percent chance of making the playoffs since the league went to the two-wildcard system.
Twelve percent.
In this balance of power the numbers are pretty staggering considering there are eight 0-2 teams, 16 1-1 teams and eight 2-0 teams. That’s a perfectly symmetrical bell curve that would even make your physics professor smile.
