Historical statistics say otherwise. I was listening on the SportsHub a while back and they were going over Superbowl winners with/without a bye week and the numbers were staggeringly in favor of teams that only have to win 3 playoff games as opposed to 4.

I think the bye week is huge for recovery, rest and mental fatigue.

50/50 the past 10 years..... 5 teams w/ a bye won the superbowl and 5 teams without it have won the superbowl

Thanks! I was trying to find the numbers but couldn't. I stand corrected.
