     His record is 8-4.   His logic is working. 

    9-4 or 8-5 is still a lot better than most player’s logic.

    I totally agree I think the Rams come out smoking and maybe they make adjustments at halftime ….but they came after Mahomes and Mahomes can’t throw under pressure he doesn’t really have a lot of people that throw two whereas the Rams they have a lot of weapons we shall see the 49ersBlew that game a lot of miss cues and they tried to run the fucking ball 20 times and got stopped every time Cincinnati will not be able to run pearls does not have a lot of weapons to throw to your gonna come after that fucking kid it was so I can probably five times but then again if the Bengals win it’ll be because the Rams fucked up we shall see

    Totally agree.  No such thing as a sure thing in the NFL.  Just look for edges, and bet them.  Just another game.

Really appreciate your post.  I have always wanted to develop a mathematical model (never have enough time, kids family, life etc.), but now that I am starting to have more, I am just gathering insights to benchmark ways to go about this. BOL to you Sir!   That's what I have is a mathmatical model. I do exactly what you are saying. I weight different areas and give each area points, then just add up the points and that is a teams Power Rating. The way I determine which areas to use and how each  areas gets weighted is by looking at which stats have the highest correlation to victory and the highest predictive value looking forward. The way I find this info is off other web sites. The stat with the highest correlation to victory is also the same stat with the highest predictive value so it's a no-brainer this stat carries the most weight. To determine how many points each stat gets I breakdown past strong SB winners and try to match the meterics to fit those teams. Then I branch-out from there to other strong playoff teams and try to find what point-level fits the majority of those teams for each stat I use . This is where it gets a little tricky, you need to continue adjusting each stats value to fit a number of teams and try to get the model to match each of those teams as closely as possible.

    Claw - thx.  Appreciate the insight on weighing factors and stats, and you sharing your thought process.peace_5

Really appreciate your post.  I have always wanted to develop a mathematical model (never have enough time, kids family, life etc.), but now that I am starting to have more, I am just gathering insights to benchmark ways to go about this. BOL to you Sir!   That's what I have is a mathmatical model. I do exactly what you are saying. I weight different areas and give each area points, then just add up the points and that is a teams Power Rating. The way I determine which areas to use and how each  areas gets weighted is by looking at which stats have the highest correlation to victory and the highest predictive value looking forward. The way I find this info is off other web sites. The stat with the highest correlation to victory is also the same stat with the highest predictive value so it's a no-brainer this stat carries the most weight. To determine how many points each stat gets I breakdown past strong SB winners and try to match the meterics to fit those teams. Then I branch-out from there to other strong playoff teams and try to find what point-level fits the majority of those teams for each stat I use . This is where it gets a little tricky, you need to continue adjusting each stats value to fit a number of teams and try to get the model to match each of those teams as closely as possible.

    Claw - thx.  Appreciate the insight on weighing factors and stats, and you sharing your thought process.peace_5

    I would be open to brainstorming new stuff with anyone here who wants to.

    Obviously today is a bad day to start talking about this - but when the dust settles - I wouldnt mind talking with some here who are serious about this and potentially developing something.

     But, those run plays must be effective. Nixon has not been good the last 5 weeks and now he goes up against another good defense. Hmmm

    I totally agree. The Rams have 4 defenders with a PFF grade of 72 or better. Ramsey doesn’t have to stick to Chase all game. He’ll most likely be best on one side of the field or defending against slot receivers where he can be in the mix more often. Rams have a solid defensive front. Most teams have doubled Donald and if that is implemented into the Bengals game plan then it will definitely open things up for the other 5 solid players they have. The Bengals wanna get rid of the ball quick so expect the Rams to force Burrow to go over the top. If Burrow throws deep he will need to buy time. Buying time is something that offensive line doesn’t give him. This game won’t be as close as some Bengals backers think and the Bengals are definitely not winning this game. The Bengals have one of the worst secondary’s and with Henderson back in the fold for the Rams it gets worse as his ability to catch the pass out of the backfield will create more havoc. 

    BOL and nice write up.

    So all of a sudden our resident expert becomes a phd data scientist with this nonsense talk about standard deviations and percentages that he knows no one on covers would know or - dare i say - challenge him on. 

    Bengals to the bank. Less talk, more action bud.
