I'll take the NFL for $100, Alex.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

OK, I've been staring at it for 15 minutes but nothing's moved yet.

Easy answer.

number of 15 game NHL winning streaks: 2 I think. Record: 17.

number of 15 game NFL winning streaks: > 8. Record: 21ish.

number of 15 game MLB winning streaks: >> 3. Record: 26

number of 15 game NBA winning streaks: > 10. Record: 33.

I'm picking MLB because its so much harder to keep consistency in a 162 game season.

I confused by the graph, how can zero votes for "A" have a bar showing visibly?

NFL

Anything that is not basketball would be hard

Hey, wait a second here. After staring at it for almost an entire day I'm beginning to think this isn't a gif.

That true for the NFL? If so, I'm pretty surprised.

NBA should definitely be the easiest, because in general, with teams trading possessions and a pretty high scoring percentage per possession (compared to other sports), the better team will usually win. There's not really an opportunity for luck (posts, hot goalie, etc...) to come into play.

NHL and NFL I think would be hard, just because of how physical they are, it's hard to sustain that game in game out.

MLB could go either way, but generally I'd imagine it'd be pretty hard. One off day for a pitcher, or a hot day for the opponent's pitcher, and the streak is over. I guess if the bats are really flying a 15 game streak would be doable.

So I guess I'll go with MLB. And looking at those stats, it seems like a good bet. (While there are more 15-game streaks in MLB than NHL, that's out of a pool of many more games, so it's too be expected.)

Hey, IPW!


BASEBALL!

 

[GagneFire12]

I'd put baseball's longest winning streak at 21 games. The run of 26 included a tie.
