This is a fantastic list to be familiar with for tournament prep.
Mort, would you say that as a general rule, if one is presented with a match-up that is not on this list, go with the higher ranked team?
For those interested…
the teams who appear most frequently in this top-20 list are MIA and MIN, with four each.
KC, DEN, CHI, DAL, BUF, SD, DET, RAM, and RAI have two each.
Everyone else has one,
except SF and IND, who are absent.
i would say take the team you feel more confident in. Which typically is the better team. Yet at the same time there is often a reason one team is better on paper in a matchup. That is because the weaker team plays to the weaknesses of a better team in many matchyps
