The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers started their 2018 seasons 0-1. Both teams want to avoid going 0-2, obviously, but if past history is any indication one of these two teams will be all but eliminated from the postseason with a loss today.
Since 2007, 91 teams have started 0-2 according to data compiled by OddsShark and of those teams, only 10 made the playoffs. That’s just better than a 1-in-10 chance of making the playoffs as an 0-2 team.
In 2017, just one team began the year 0-2 and made the playoffs; the New Orleans Saints.
