8-plus days of rest are 7-0 in playoffs

No guarantees, but this does give me more confidence in a win. Home Field Advantage, healthier team, more rest, #1 Scoring Defense, plus #1 or Top 3 in many other defensive metrics. On and on and on....

Since 1984, teams with eight-plus days of rest advantage are 7-0 in playoffs, per NFL Research. The squad with shorter rest was held to 10 or fewer points in six of the seven games.

Only way we end up with an L is by giving it to them. A la Greenbay vs Bears game. We lose like that, shit, ANY TEAM that loses like that need to go sit down tf somewhere in the dark for a few days.

I like that stat, but the Niners have won a ton of playoff games with Shanny.

It's not just the rest, it's also the additional practice/prep time as well.
