Now, Keep in mind that these numbers are mathematical predictions...Teams who've been on a roll lately might score higher, some teams that've been doing poorly, will score less than predicted. Let me know what you think
I think thats pretty accurate as far as who will make the playoffs. I personally agree with Jonesy and I feel Boston will be out and Buffalo gets in for the East. As for the West, I don't think anyone not currently in the playoffs will make it.
