See Hall of Fame, either the team has had far fewer standout players than the rest of the division, or the HOF voters realize what an advantage it is playing there and it is harder to earn a spot.
Fun Fact- Denver has an all time losing record against two out of three in the division but has been outscored by all three. [Reply]
So, yeah of all the teams on the road since 2003, Denver boasts the 6th best winning percentage. That totally validates the notion that they historically kinda suck without the home field advantage.
You'll notice several of the same teams ranked in the top 10 of each link, but yeah --- there's that Denver thin air bias and overwhelming advantage.
Same # of home wins as NE and PIT is only 9 beind them.
See if you can consolidate total home win % during the first 4 weeks of the season...that is where the altitude advantage is at it peak and the scheduling anomaly exists. [Reply]
They are like 19-1 first 2 games at pile high since the rules on practice time were changed. TOTAL bullshit for a team with only a couple decent rosters in that time. [Reply]

What about the other 5 or so top teams?
It would be interesting to compare the final standings to see if the teams were good all year or just during the first month.
Kind of like Denver starting 3-1 and ending 5-11. [Reply]

Phhht.... you and your bullshit numbers. They're 17-3 at home the last 10 seasons during the first 2 home games. 19-1 - geez. You and your fake news, bullshitter fake news man, you. [Reply]
