Kind of interesting there have been zero ties this year
Statistically a tied game is close to a 1 in 300 proposition. The Buccaneers could qualify as a wild-card with a tie and some unlikely results but that's in the 1 in 2000+ region.

Since there's 272 regular season games you figure you get at least one a year. Just interesting not a big deal.

with 1/300 odds and 272 regular season games, you would average less than one per year, so you should figure you won't get one every year.

There's no exact probability for a tie. It's only an estimate based on history and rule changes that could alter historical models. Even with coin flips you see sizable streaks of heads or tails. Extrapolate that out to 1 chance in the hundreds and you won't be surprised to see no ties for a decade and then 4 ties in 1 season. Event distribution can be wildly erratic.

Watch out for Pitt right now if they can slip into the dance … They’re running the ball well, playing solid enough defense… That combo keeps you in games for possible upsets… They need a win and some help to get in though … Ravens will most likely rest some guys next week, so I can see them beating the Ravens … Bills are another dangerous first round matchup

I'm pretty sure you're saying that because they played your team who plays defense like Covid social distancing is still in effect.

lol .. No, it’s the last 2 games they’ve scored 30 plus, playing decent defense also… But yeah our D is bad, pretty shocked from a Pete Caroll led team …

Might be wrong, but does seem like there has been one each season since the new OT rules and 10 minute OT started (might be wrong).......I'd like to see them go back to 15 minutes.

You don’t understand his rules. Your FG kicker missed a chip shot so now he honestly feels like the Browns are better than the Niners. Buckle up. He’s gonna spam you with replies.
There's one lie, Tommy. when did I say I thought the Browns were better than SF (and that was not even the first in this thread)?

Go fuck yourself. You’re on tilt right now because you’re the only football fan in America that doesn’t know that Lamar’s playoff career has been riddled with failure. I’ve gotta get some work done now. You can talk to yourself, Rain Man.

I'm on tilt because you asked me to find a lie of yours and I did, Tommy (I actually found 2)?

How about just man up and own your lie?
