Superbowl XLVIII Projection, Week 3, Sunday

Seattle over Kansas City

The top two teams swapped positions, again. Seattle reasserted its dominance with a 45-17 game against Jacksonville. As Jacksonville is the worst team at the moment, I'm glad the top 2 teams have played them, because they are thus at least more comparable to each other.

Carolina is the 3rd best team, with only a 1-2 record. This is a result of their 2 narrow losses by a total of 6 points, and their shutout win by 38 points. If you were to smooth out those points over all 3 games, they'd be 3-0, illustrating my system's preference for point differential over actual wins and losses in projecting future games.

Finally, it's weird to live in a world where the Steelers and Packers are a combined 1-5.

I'll save my Rams bellyaching and hope to instead do some celebrating after this Thursday's game.
