the 2013-2014 nfl playoff prediction thread v. anybody but the chargers

getting pretty sick of hearing about Seattle's stadium being the loudest ever. They designed it with the sole purpose of containing noise like no fucking shit it is going to be loud. I hate any fans who claim their team has the best fans really. Theres no way of accurately judging that and all I know is I follow the NFL pretty intelligently imo and could give a fuck if the guy next to me in the parking lot even knows who is starting at QB.

home field advantage is the most overrated thing in all sports
 
Home field isn't over rated. If the fans are makin so much noise the field is shaking, the offensive coordinator can't communicate anything to the QB and audibles are nearly impossible. Being that defense is primarily reactionary it gives the defense a massive advantage.

except theres a speaker in the QBs helmet and pretty soon every team will be using Chip Kelly's card system imo. The Eagles tore shit up on the road this year, it doesnt mean anything
 
the bottom line is theres 3 components that go into the outcome of any football game: the weather conditions, the players, and coaching adjustments.

the fans are just there to watch
 
well when you have to use psychological reasons for your argument there really is no argument because there is no right or wrong in that area. Some players probably enjoy quieting opposing fans even more than revving up their own fans

agree to disagree, im just gonna let this game speak for itself
 
look up win percentages for home and away teams in the nfl. the difference is negligible at best. probably within 55/45 at the most
 
I think you're just not used to it with the eagles being weird and all and winning more on the road than at home but im on the flip side with that because Falcons ever since drafting Matt Ryan have almost been unstoppable at home, while on the road they've just been ok. and i think that's more of the norm. every prediction if i think it's gonna be a close game i easily go with the home team.

i would think the win % is closer to 70 for home teams.

ok just checked and only 4 teams have more wins on the road than at home. eagles, chiefs (andy reid do the same when he was with eagles?), titans, and jaguars
 
the site im looking at says 57% but im not sure what the sample size is.

again, if the argument is about things that are psychological than there really is no argument.

shits overrated
 
yeah i just saw that. the fact that more than half the league is 8-8 or less, a lot of the shitty teams are gonna bring it down. but i think the key stat is that only 4 teams have more wins on the road than at home. thats pretty huge.

why is home field advantage so big? there's a few factors you gotta deal with on the road that you dont have to worry about at home. still i feel like it shouldnt make that much of a difference. but something definitely is making a difference imo.
 
Definitely makes a difference in Denver, because of the altitude. Other than that, dome teams that have to go play outdoors on te road in inclement weather obviously have it rough.
