Looking at Baltimore - if they rest Jackson & some of the other starters next week they would be sitting for 2 weeks.
At this point in the season, I'll always take rest.
IIRC, there were stats that showed that there isn't much correlation to how you play going into the postseason and the actual postseason, but I am probably way off on that. [Reply]

You gotta go a long ways back for this stat.
2015 - 0-2 Denver
2012 - 0-2 vs Bal
2011 - 0-2 vs NYG
2010 - 1-2 vs NYJ
2006 - 0-2 vs IND
Every other team they beat they also beat or didn't face in the regular season. [Reply]
