Since 1990 teams coming off the bye week are 56-20. Now the record looks favorable but lets think about it. These are the better teams, at home, with a weeks rest (sometimes more depending on how they finish the season). The Colts have never won after a playoff bye. I know for some teams the bye will help like New Orleans who needed desperately to get healthy. But how does the rest affect these teams?
