That doesn’t sound right.

 

For example in the way you’ve set things up, a team with a 90% chance to win any given game would have a 100% chance of losing after 10 games (which obviously isn’t right).

 

I think you are looking for the chance the team loses at least one game, which is one minus the chance the team wins all of the games.

 

So 1 - 0.9^5 for 5 remaining games. Or about 40% chance you lose at least one game.

.

And this is why I failed my "Intro to Stats" class.

This game won’t be easy. The Jets defense is really tough and they are moving the ball a little now. They have really good WRs and obviously ran all over us. We need to just get healthy and find a way to bury this team. I live an hour from met life I can’t listen to another week of this Mike White *****. The guy is Trent Edwards 2.0

 the most important question probability wise is how much more likely the chiefs are to win out than us though I’d say.  They’re more likely to do it but I don’t think it’s by an overwhelmingly huge margin 

 

The Bengals have a good shot at the 1 seed if they win out as well.  It's not just a two-team race

 

As for the spread being high, considering that it was 10.5 at the Jets and now the game is in Buffalo, the oddsmakers have already made a big adjustment.  I certainly wouldn't run to bet the Jets at 9.5 in Buffalo.

The Jets have a good defense. Their offense has been better with White. They really should have won yesterday but thankfully they didn't. I would take the Jets and the points. The Bills should win but the Jets will give them a game. I am going to say it will be something like 23-20 Bills.

I live 20 minutes from MetLife. Many of my family, friends, and co-workers are Jets fans. When the Bills lost to them, I had to listen to their crap. Hopefully that won't be the case this time.

I’m so happy they lost that game yesterday. I can’t listen to this Mike White ***** again. All you can hope is the Bills just completely shut them down this week.

I think this is going to be a tough game. Unfortunately, the Jets have a good team. I think the Bills win but it will probably be a one score game throughout. I don't get the Mike White hype either. He is the best they have but being better than Wilson/Flacco isn't saying much. Have to think Wilson is done in NY. Deactivated for a 2nd straight game isn't a good look.

Ok… thanks for the clarification on that …

 

Whilst my maths was wrong … I was trying to make the point that just because you are the favourite in every game… even a strong favourite… stringing 5 wins in a row together ain’t a walk in the park…

 

I doth my cap, sir.

I really wouldn’t either…I think as a message board we’ve fallen into the same trap as the pats game lol. We are giving the opponents the appropriate credit but vastly underrating our own team.  I don’t think our defense is far behind the jets with edmunds,poyer, and tre white playing and we have a much better offense

People need to stop worrying about the big points spread.  Vegas for the most part knows what they are doing.  They believe home field coupled with the fact that the Bills are the better team by a lot is why the spread is so wide.  Bills fans need to start embracing the fact people think we are the best team in the league.
