On the other hand, how bout some credit to the teams that won upsets this weekend? Jordan Love was fantastic, so was Stroud in Houston. Both running up scores on "top" defenses. Congrats.

To be fair, most teams are around 500 vs other playoff teams. This season the Cowboys were 4-4 vs teams over 500 this season and 3-4 vs playoff teams.
Chiefs were 1-4 vs playoff teams, Dolphins 1-5, Texans 2-2, Lions 3-3, Bucs 1-5, Rams 2-6 and Packer 3-3. 6 playoff teams were over 500 vs other playoff teams and 8 were 500 or less. and 7 teams were +1/-1 game of being 500 vs other other playoff teams. Only the Ravens, Bills and Eagles were over 500 and outside that range.
Last year the Cowboys were 7-2 vs teams over 500 fwiw
Edit: looking at the previous season, they were 5-4. So the last 3 years, they are 16-10. I'm not sure where the 13-15 stat is coming from unless they are counting the records when they played vs where teams finished up.
