Let me preface this post by saying this is no way meant to be an actual prediction, mainly for kicks and giggles and a way of looking at the percentages for each team based on home and away records.
The way I added them up is this. Negative points for opponent’s total point percentage and home/away point percentage added up to the Detroit total point percentage and home/away point percentage. Point percentage, as I’ve used is basically how many games a team has earned points in.

The way a game is decided between win or loss is like this. Win is anything above .05 (or 5%). Ties for anything below 5% but above 2%. Negative points automatically make it a loss. Not an exact science by any means, and its not intended to be. Just a way to look at the schedule and predict based off of records thus far.
Final total: 7-3-5 (19 points) Yeah, the 5 is kind of unlikely in terms of that many ties. Just games I had trouble deciding one way or the other based on the points and previous games this year.
Final record: 39-26-17 (95 points)
The 95 points would put the Wings in the playoffs by way of James Mirtle’s numbers.
How do you all think the Wings will end the season?
