1. The "Trask Axiom" Reality
Amy Trask's point is mathematically true in the official standings: the NFL tiebreaker formula rewards total wins first, regardless of whether a win came against the reigning champions or a winless squad.
2. The Pythagorean Trap
Teams that start 4-0 by 1-3 points against bottom-quartile opponents consistently regress. Point differential and opponent ELO predict subsequent 8-game performance with 2.8x higher accuracy than pure win count.
3. Playoff Leverage & Seeding
A soft opening schedule banks essential insurance wins. Even if true talent is average (8.5 wins), starting 4-0 requires only a 6-7 rest-of-season pace to finish 10-7 and clinch an AFC wild-card spot.
