NFL "20 Point" System

[Loves2kickass]

The "20 Point" system originated from a member of a different site who passed away last year. I have followed this closely for the last few years and thought I'd share here.

The point system is as follows:

● +3pts for every win allowing less than 14pts
● +2pts for every win allowing more than 30pts
● -3pts for every loss allowing more than 30pts
● -2pts for every loss allowing less than 14pts

If a playoff team reaches a minimum of 20 points at the end of the regular season, it's the golden ticket to represent their conference in the Super Bowl.

In last 26 years a playoff team reached the 20pt or more threshold 17 times and reached the SB. The other 9 times no team reached 20pts after the reg season.

I edited original post to say of the 17 times a team has reached the 20pt threshold, they've reached the SB.

I haven't backtested this but I will very soon and I'll post it. I just took the word of the well respected capper.

No change after the late game.

The Pittsburgh Steelers off to the best start through the first 3 weeks with the max amounts of points (+9). That can quickly change in just a couple weeks but they're a team to keep an eye on.

They're currently the 7th choice on the Circa odds board to win the AFC Championship at +1850.

The nfl total fucked Steelers into basically 2 automatic losses. 1st the cle game on road in short week after ravens, next time they play Ravens then they have another short week playing kc on Xmas. It’s almost perfect cause obviously kc will win that game given Tomlin short week track record so everyone who isn’t already underselling steeelers will def do so after Kc smokes them on Xmas ! Only concern I have for Steelers is they gotta be patient and make sure Pickens hammy is fully healed, without Pickens Steelers a totally different team. Wanted to slam them vs Philly but the early news isn’t good bout him playing.
