But is Fox's record really as shiny as it appears?
I've broken the 49 wins and 22 losses down into the following splits so judge for yourself:
Regular season: 46-18 (.719), Postseason: 3-4 (.429)
Home: 28-9 (.757), Road: 21-12 (.636), Neutral: 0-1 (.000)
AFC West: 21-4 (.840), Non-AFC West: 28-18 (.609)
AFC: 38-16 (.704), NFC: 11-6 (.647)
Playoff qualifiers: 12-16 (.429), Non-playoff qualifiers: 37-6 (.860)
Winning teams: 17-17 (.500), .500 teams: 9-2 (.818), Losing teams: 23-3 (.885)
Favorite (SU): 41-12 (.774); Underdog (SU): 6-10 (.375); Pick (SU): 1-1 (.500)
Favorite (ATS): 30-23 (.566); Underdog (ATS): 7-9 (.438); Pick (ATS): 1-1 (.500)
Peyton Manning starts: 40-13 (.755); Tim Tebow starts: 8-5 (.615); Kyle Orton starts: 1-4 (.200)
Some notables from the above:
- 75.5 percent of Fox's victories came against teams which didn't make the playoffs
- Fox's teams were 32-5 (.865) against teams which finished .500 or worse, including 25-1 (.962) during Manning's three seasons
- Fox's teams were 0-4 as underdogs in the Manning era
- Three of Fox's four postseason losses came in games in which the Broncos were favored
