Hmm overall no, starting 2-0 on the Road has no final statistical correlation. *However* 4 of the last 5 teams that started 2-0 on the road DID win their division. And overall only 3 teams that started out 2-0 on the road finished with losing records.
I wonder if its telling that the correlation is markedly stronger over the las ten years? Is it just chance or has something changed? Has it become more difficult to win on the road?
