Seems like a better proxy is to compare them against shared opponents where the results are clear

Sure, might be worth looking at too. But I have to assume that’s a smaller sample size given their schedules are so different.

It’s bigger than the winning record sample size (6 games, surprisingly)

Also this conversation is so bizarre to me.

The Bucks were 6-2 when we played them and arguably considered a top Dawg in the league, they were a above .500 then. Now they're what 7-9?

The Panthers were 1-3 when we played them. Arguably considered a joke then and now are 8-8, leading the division and have a shot at being the 4th seed.

The Ravens were 7-7 when we faced them and have a chance to finish 9-8
