4. Aaron Schatz, arguably the most revered data scientist in the NFL universe, posted something on Tuesday that caught my eye. He said that three teams this year are among the 12 best 5-2 teams in terms of DVOA since the metric was first introduced in 1978. Those teams are the Lions, Rams, and Seahawks. Moreover, 6 of the other 9 teams on the list made it to the conference championship game, 3 made it to the Super Bowl, and two of those three teams won it all. So my question to you Carl is this: Which one of these three teams (Lions, Rams, Seahawks) is LEAST likely to make it to the NFC Championship Game and which one is MOST likely to?
