I looked at an interesting stat on rest days.
These are the difference between playing every Sunday for 17 weeks and having Monday and Thursday games sprinkled in
I then looked at the teams records with more rest days and the teams with the fewest rest days.

First the Most Rest Days
Lions(13) 7-4
Dolphins(11) 4-7
LAR (10) 9-2
Seattle (8) 8-3
SF 49ers (8) 8-4
Now the least rest days
LVR (-19) 2-9
NOS (-14) 2-9
Wash (-12) 3-8
Bills (-8) 7-4
Browns (-7) 3-8
As you can see there are only 2 anomalies the Fins with a losing record in the first group and the Bills with a winning record in the second group.
I am now going to do some research on travel miles per team and records for my next post.
