Brisket is where the weekend gets away from them — it averages 15.39 points below their pork, and turns into a call 0% of the time against 0%.
The nearest teams in the power rankings, with a different reason on each card — six teams on one rating are rarely on it for the same reason. Rating decides who makes the list; where teams tie on it, the ones this team has actually cooked against come first, then teams at a similar point in their own career. KCBS doesn’t publish where a team is from, so nothing here is inferred from geography.
42 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.
One contest in common so far: too few to settle anything, but a team ALL PORKED UP has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 7 contests to 7, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
⚔ Head-to-headThis is the highest they've ever been rated, 8 rated contests in — a team sitting at its own career peak.
⚔ Head-to-headBoth teams' first contest in the data came in 2013.
⚔ Head-to-headLevel with ALL PORKED UP on power rating, which is the whole reason they're on the list.
⚔ Head-to-headThis is the highest they've ever been rated, 9 rated contests in — a team sitting at its own career peak.
