After the wildcard round, this is where we are at. Astonishingly, the eight remaining teams are the eight "strongest" teams in the league, according to my rater. That results in all the quarterfinal match-ups being pretty even. The most heavily favored match-up is Kansas City over Houston, and that is only by the relatively slim margin of 0.584 to 0.416.
