It's a weird stat because staring 0-3 shouldn't be met with well only 5 teams have done it and made the playoffs, there are so many different factors that play into a teams success. I would expect a lot of playoff teams might lose 3 or 4 in a row this year.
Considering Ottawa handled Florida, I wouldn't say it is a given that we will be 0-4, but we will see
But statistically speaking those are the odds.
You can spin it any way you want but thats how statistics work.
If Buffalo goes 0-4 and loses to Florida it's only gonna get worse.
The good news is they can always buck the trend.
If only 20% of teams make the playoffs after starting 0-4 then statistically speaking Buffalo has a 20% chance of making the playoffs.
I would imagine betting sites will adjust towards these statistics especially the more games played that go in that direction.
You have a lot of confidence in this team you should go bet on Buffalo to make the playoffs if they lose to Florida. You will make a killing.
