Colts could join list Monday.

Considering Seattle has opened with 2 road games, theirs might be the least significant...

of the fifteen teams that won their season opener a week ago (excluding the two teams that will play monday night), eight won in week two to go 2-0 while seven lost in week two to go 1-1 (including the rams)... of the eight teams that won to go 2-0, all but the falcons made the postseason last year. of the seven teams that lost to go 1-1, none made the postseason last year. coincidence? doubtful.

teams that won in week 1 and again in week 2, including their 2014 records: patriots (12-4), broncos (12-4), packers (12-4), cowboys (12-4), cards (11-5), bengals (10-5-1), panthers (7-8-1), falcons (6-10).

teams that won in week 1 but lost in week 2, including their 2014 records: titans (2-14), rams (6-10), niners (8-8), dolphins (8-8), chiefs (9-7), chargers (9-7), bills (9-7).

and here's a look at the teams that lost in week 1 but won in week 2: steelers, vikes, browns, skins, jaguars, raiders, bucs.

and the 0-2 teams, including their 2014 records: seahawks (12-4), lions (11-5), ravens (10-6), eagles (10-6), texans (9-7), saints (7-9), giants (6-10), bears (5-11).

IMO, there's Brady and Rodgers. Then there's everyone else.

And everyone else needs more to win. Some need more than others.

Foles needs a lot more, Wilson needs less than Foles. If Palmer stays healthy, the Cards win the West.

The Colts were 0-2 last year and still won their division because they have Luck and the division stinks.

You just can't look at the raw numbers to determine the likelihood of 0-2 making the playoffs. You have to scrubbed the bad teams from the numbers, they are gonna lose no matter what. Not sure how you do that except maybe looking at the Vegas over/under total wins for all the teams that are 0-2 and just count those teams that are expected to win 9 or more games.

Is this going to be another super bowl loser's hangover? I hope so.

Add The Colts to the 0-2 club.

So far upside down. Perhaps this will be the season of change. Lesser teams supplanting the usual suspects. And a certain team changing hometowns. All in this season of change...........;)

Of these 9 0-2 teams, who do we figure are simply bad and who do we figure are going to kick some butt with game 3 already being a must win situation?

First up, The Giants at home against Washington...

but is that really the case? 7 of the 9 undefeated (2-0) teams made the postseason last season while only 5 of the 23 teams that are 1-1 (or worse) made it the postseason last year...

Yeah, the really remarkable part is the 0-2 teams.

The average Vegas win totals for those 9 teams has got to be pretty high...
