Playoff Matchups Past and Future (?) Top List

In Tampa, Tom Brady makes the call as the unbeaten Tampa Bay Buccaneers play host to unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles. Tampa Bay and Philadelphia have met in the postseason in 3 of the past 4 seasons.

The Bucs blew a 17-point lead to the Jets and had a field goal blocked for a TD last week. The won 29-27 with a field goal at the gun. The Eagles (-3.5) scored the best cover of the season in their 33-26 win over the LA Rams. A potential game-winning kick was run back for a TD by Jordan Davis of the Eagles with no time left, icing Philly's and the epic cover.

The Chiefs grabbed a much-needed win against the Giants in Week 3. The Ravens lost their track meet 38-30 to the Lions. The game offers a real test for the Chiefs, who began their season with losses to two currently unbeaten teams - the Chargers and Eagles.

Saints vs. Bills Rank At The Bottom In Week 4

The Bills own the largest line of the season as 16.5-point favorites at home against the woeful Saints. This game carries the lowest score of the week.

The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans appeared 5 times on our Top 25 Least Watchable Games list this preseason. 

How We Did It

Multiple factors were used in creating an algorithm for the Bookies.com Watchability Index. Each of the 272 games on the NFL schedule were scored (and recalculated weekly) for the following:

• WIN DISPARITY: Projected Win Totals Combined; Minus Win Total Disparity 

• ADJUSTED SB ODDS: Weighted Average of Each Team’s Odds To Win The Super Bowl at BetMGM, with the most points going to the team (Buffalo) favored to win the Super Bowl. And the least points given the longest shot on the board (Cleveland).
• POINT SPREAD: Weighted point spread for each game. A pick’em gets 20 points, a 1-point spread 19 points, a 2-point spread 18 points, and so on. 

Individual matchups were also awarded 3 points each if they included:

• Are scheduled in prime time or in a national network slot; or are available on Amazon Prime or Netflix
• Include a major secondary storyline in addition to the game itself (i.e. Aaron Rodgers’ return to the NFL; a playoff rematch; a traditional rivalry; or offer a potential playoff preview, etc.)
• Have potential for extreme weather, or an impactful crowd
• Ties are broken by point spread, with the lower point spread being deemed more watchable.
