00:00If you have a top 10 offense or a top 10 defense, you're feeling pretty good about yourself, right?

00:04You and I both kind of skew off it. So I was looking at the numbers the top 10

00:08Defenses points per game this regular season. How many of those 10 do you think are in the playoffs defenses defenses?

00:16Five nine Wow nine of the top 10 defenses. Okay made the playoffs 90% That's pretty good

00:2490% hit rate

00:26Offenses out of the top 10 offenses in football points per game. How many made the playoffs? I

00:33Don't know eight

00:35nine

00:36It's the same number Jones spider-man meme. Boom same number 90% top 10 offense 90% top 10 defense points against

00:43They're both in the playoffs if you give yourself a top 10 offense

00:47You have a 90% shot of making the playoffs based off of the 2024 season

00:50I think maybe anecdotally now some of those teams are both

00:53They have a top 10 off and then top the right defense and you know many years the Patriots had that and you know

00:57That's a pretty good formula

00:58Okay

00:59So you're as likely as a top 10 defense to make the playoffs as you are a top 10 offense that flies in the face

01:04Of our right supposition about you want an offensive guy?

01:07So maybe somebody who talks themselves into a Mike variable lead team

01:11And if you really, you know beef up the defense and you get yourself all the way up there even you know

01:18You can't have a bottom offense. Let's say your offense is somewhere in the middle

01:21That's at least a formula to go from four wins the 910 wins you get yourself in the playoffs

01:25You go from there. So that's actually not bad. So the data would tell you a score one for Rabel

01:29All right

01:29However, if you do it this way the top three offenses versus the top three defenses and then just you

01:37Yourself as well as you listening tell me who are more Super Bowl contenders favorites, etc

01:43I'm gonna write you on the top three defenses or offenses first

01:46Give me the offenses first top three offenses the Detroit Lions

01:50I like them the Buffalo Bills, uh-huh, the Baltimore Ravens. Okay, those are three good teams three promising teams

01:56I bet they have decent Super Bowl odds. You want the top three defense? Sure the Los Angeles Chargers

02:02Philadelphia Eagles Denver Broncos, okay

02:06So which group would I rather be Detroit Buffalo Baltimore? Yeah, or the Chargers Philly Denver?

02:11Yeah, I'd rather be that first group with the top three offenses
