In the included chart, you will see each team, their win-loss record and the PossessionPoints measure of relative performance which is colored green, yellow or red. A green chart indicates a positive and strong team performance. A yellow chart indicates a mediocre to fair performance and a red chart tells the tale of trouble ahead.
These Performance Ratings are unique because they are based on in-game stats that are present in each game every week. Not present in these performance ratings are any opinion and or subjective measure of any type.
In week 15, the Steelers have maintained their second position but their RPM has dropped from 62 down to 49. The only thing we can find to try and pin this drop on is the weather; however, the Jaguars, a Florida team, didn’t seem to have the same problems with the snow as the hometown Steelers. The Packers moved into fourth position but this wasn’t so much to them improving their RPM as it was due to the Colts’ and Cowboys’ RPM fading.
Our projected standing s now think they have the playoff picture clear. The NFC division winners are already decided and our projections have the Giants and Vikings both finishing at 10-6 and taking the other two wildcard spots. The next best teams we see finishing at 8-8. These teams have a gap of two games with two to play, so two wins would be needed to prove our standings wrong.
In the AFC, our projections have the Steelers winning the AFC North with the Jaguars and Browns getting the two AFC wildcards. Our projection has the Browns finishing 10-6, and the Titans (the only other team alive for a wildcard) we have finishing two games back at 8-8.
