In a league focused on parity many games are decided by a single score. These razor-thin margins can have major repercussions. Let’s examine a hypothetical where the Buffalo Bills flipped their one-score losses into victories.
Our baseline
The 2019 Buffalo Bills finished the season at 10-6 and earned a trip to the playoffs as the fifth seed. Now obviously our scenario will improve on reality but by how far? During the regular season, nine games were decided by one score (eight points or less). Let’s flip the losses to wins and see what happens.
