FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Week 15 DVOA Ratings

Great stuff throughout this one, one of the most interesting Patriots nuggets:

Losing to San Francisco made it very likely (over 70 percent) that the Patriots will be the third seed, which means they need to win an extra game and then travel to Denver in order to go to the AFC Championship. That change drops the Patriots’ chances of winning it all from about 24 percent to just 19 percent. Denver is now our Super Bowl favorite at 20.1 percent.

Hobbled by knee and ankle injuries in recent weeks, Spikes appears to be the most banged-up player on the Patriots’ defense. He didn’t play the first series of Sunday night’s game for injury reasons, according to coach Bill Belichick, and he also didn’t finish the game for a second straight week, replaced by Niko Koutouvides. Behind Spikes, the Patriots don’t have any players with much experience on defense, so getting him healthy for January will be important.

Give it up for Woodhead last night, the only running back who could hold on to the ball. I think his value to this team is pretty evident and with his contract up at the end of this season they should make an effort to re-sign him. He’s a reliable change of pace back and you can always use a guy like that.
