And how about Super Bowl teams? How did they fare in the preseason?

Super Bowl Teams' Preseason Records
Year Winner Preseason wins Point Differential Loser Preseason Wins Point Differential
2007 New York Giants 1 -17 New England Patriots 2 18
2006 Indianapolis Colts 1 -19 Chicago Bears 2 13
2005 Pittsburgh Steelers 3 18 Seattle Seahawks 3 17
2004 New England Patriots 1 -44 Philadelphia Eagles 1 -16
2003 New England Patriots 4 54 Carolina Panthers 4 50
2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3 -2 Oakland Raiders 2 11
  Winner Averages 2.2 -1.7 Loser Averages 2.3 15.5
  Combined Averages 2.3 6.9

 

As of now, five teams have a .500 winning percentage (an average of 2.3 wins is a .575 win percentage) and a point differential between zero and ten points: Buffalo Bills (point differential=0), New York Jets (1), Pittsburgh Steelers (3), New York Giants (0), and the New Orleans Saints (10).

Jets vs. Giants Super Bowl? We'll see.
