Remember home field advantage? Well it seems to be a challenging thing for teams in the NFC, but in the superior AFC......
The AFC East has one good team that happens to be 14-0, and then a pile of cow crap below. New England is 7-0 at home and 7-0 on the road. The Bills at 7-7, have a 4-3 home record, but a 2-5 road record destroyed their playoff chances. The Jets.....2-5 at home....1-6 away from Giants Stadium. As for the Dolphins, they are 1-6 at home, and a tremendous 0-7 on the road. Add that up, and the AFC East is 14-14 at home (mainly because of the other 3 teams suckiness), and an atrocious 14-17 away.
The AFC South is by far the best division in football. No team is under .500, and if the Texans were in the NFC, a trip to the playoffs is much more likely. The Colts are 5-1 at home and 7-1 on the road. The Jaguars are split at 5-2 at home and on the road. The Titans are split 4-3 both home and road. And even the last place Texans at 7-7, a very good 5-2 record at home, but just 2-5 away from Reliant Stadium. A division in which no team will finish below .500 at home. Add that up, the AFC South has a record of 19-8 at home, and a respectable 18-13 away.
The AFC North is a division in which the Steelers and Ravens Bengals Browns are the top teams. Pittsburgh's loss to Jacksonville dropped them to 7-1 at home, but the Steelers are just 2-4 away from Heinz Field. Cleveland is 9-5 as well, 6-1 at home, but 3-4 on the road. Then the duds in the Bengals, a 4-3 home record, but a 1-6 road record, and the Ravens, 3-4 at home, and a pathetic 1-6 away. So the AFC North has a record of 21-11 at home, but a pathetic 7-20 on the road.
Finally, the awful AFC West. That includes the champion Chargers, a 6-1 record at home, but 3-4 away. The Chiefs had their worst home stand ever with a 2-6 home record, and a 2-4 road record. The Raiders are 2-5 home and away, while the Broncos are 4-3 at home, and 2-5 away. A poor record for the AFC West, in which the home record is 14-15, while the road is an even worse 7-18 away.
Final totals (AFC):
Home: 68-48 (.586)
Away: 46-68 (.396)
Overall:
114-116 (.495)
Final Totals (NFC):
Home: 58-52 (.527)
Away: 53-59 (.473)
Overall: 111-111 (.500)
Not sure if this is right, everyone has played 14 games. Help me out here.
