  • #2
    There may have been times when the #3 seed rested starters and didn't care about winning that last games, no?

      I do not think so. Generally, if they are #1 & #2 seeds they rest the starters. There are times the #3 has to play to not be the 4 seed or still needs to win their division.

      If you really think about this year, GB & Houston had incentive the last game of the year and both lost.

      Out of the 46 games, the #3 wild card seed was 31-15 in their last regular season game. Without going into great detail, I would generally say those #3 seeds did not have everything locked up and had to win their final game.

      Good comment and my 2 cents.

      I'll have that added to the database next year.
