@@@ Not so fast. Since realignment in 2002, 98 of the 144 playoff <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Glass-Frames-Gloves-Riding-Boots.html>Cheap Gucci Handbags</a> teams won their season opener. But 46 teams made the playoffs after losing their season opener. Because of the brevity of the NFL season with just 16 games, every game carries an inordinate weight in determining a team's playoff odds. After just one week of play, the playoff odds have shifted significantly from the 37.5% all teams shared before kickoff weekend. Overall, 51% of the teams who have won their season opener since 2002 also made the playoffs (98 of 192 teams). Conversely, only 24% of the teams that lost their season opener eventually made the playoffs over the same period (46/192). Yet nothing is lost for teams like the , who stumbled out of the gate on opening weekend. Because the brevity of the NFL season also means that if <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Cheap-Belt-Jelly-Flats-Hoodie.html>Cheap Gucci Belt</a> you string together a couple of wins, you'll be back in the thick of the playoff race. The image below shows how the playoff odds have developed over the last 12 seasons from Week 1 through Week 4:

In principle, there's no reason why the Cowboys shouldn't be able to win their next couple of games, and climb back to 50% playoff odds by Week 3 with a 2-1 record. In principle. But that assumes that the Cowboys did indeed stumble out of the block on Sunday, and <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Real-Men-Sunglasses-Ties.html>Gucci Belts Online</a> that their loss to the is not indicative of a bigger issue. If it's the latter, then this chart has an ugly message: Another loss would drop the Cowboys' playoff odds to a little below one in 10, and three consecutive losses to start the season means we can start planning for next year. And I for one do not want to look at mock drafts in September.

-A circuit court judge in St. Louis County denied a request by the Post-Dispatch to release Michael Brown鈥檚 juvenile criminal records.Family Court Judge Ellen [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url]  Levy Siwak issued the denial Tuesday without stating a reason.The newspaper had filed a petition on Aug. 22 to open any juvenile records on Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old shot to death last month by a Ferguson police officer.In a hearing last week, the newspaper argued there was heavy public interest in learning about Brown鈥檚 background, and that there was no reason after his death to protect him from the stigma of a juvenile record.Cynthia Harcourt, a lawyer for county juvenile officer Kip Seely, had contested the release [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url]  of any records, saying the integrity of the family court was on the line.In comments to a reporter after the hearing, .Class A felonies include second-degree murder and first-degree robbery; class B felonies include voluntary manslaughter, second-degree robbery and first-degree burglary.Those disclosures [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url]  put to rest claims by a California-based blog and others that Brown was facing a murder charge at the time he was shot to death.It was not known whether Brown had ever been accused of lesser offenses.Class C felonies, for example, which include involuntary manslaughter and second-degree assault, would become open only if there were two previous adjudications for class A, B or C felonies. But that was not the case with Brown.
