yes

thereā€™s no chance they cover either, though lol

+5

Whoops. 19 outta 20 ainā€™t bad

Jon Gruden should be happy he is not the worst nfl head coach in his family.

With the contract Gruden got out of that moron heā€™d be laughing all the way to the bank if he got fired.

Did he hedge?

I crunched my lines last night, but I wonā€™t be putting blind faith in them anymore. The past two weeks suggest my model is lacking for the purpose of betting. The late steam hasnā€™t been agreeing with my model like it was the first week.

However, the model does seem accurate enough to serve as a guide. It can inform me when a weird-looking market line actually isnā€™t weird at all. When it disagrees with the market, rather than immediately fire away, from now on Iā€™ll compare it to what my gut says the line should be. My gut alone is probably worse than the model, but maybe gut+model > either alone. Perhaps each one can sanity-check the other. There is also line-movement info at my disposal if I donā€™t bet at the earliest possible moment.

Long-term, it will be interesting to see if there are patterns to the games my model gets wrong. It gets a lot of lines right, so the problem may not be systemic; maybe the lines it gets wrong all have situational factors Iā€™m missing. (Who knows, maybe ā€œbad coach playing a nationally televised night gameā€ is one of them, a generalization of Nonfictionā€™s ā€œSkins on MNFā€ angle.)

Not sure, was just randomly shared w/ me

Per ESPN Dallas is -2.5 while their FPI gives New Orleans a 55% chance of winning? Free money or tarp?

New Orleans super talented roster, good coaching but the question mark is qb. Although they might have one of the better potential back ups in the league.

Saints defense needs to be able to deal with Dallas play action if they want to win. Both teams will be up for the game. I am a cowboys homer but I wouldnā€™t bet on this game either way. When projecting out the season I always had it as a potential loss.

Two great offensive teams but itā€™s going to decided by which defense can do enough to slow down the other.

Game is in NO fwiw

NYG(eli), @wash, MIA doesnā€™t feel like a good test of their ability
Edit: as opposed to W v Houston, L @rams, W @Sea

LOL Ramsey called out sick on Monday, said his back hurt this morning and then took a leave of absence this afternoon for the birth of his child. Jaguars have no idea when heā€™ll be back.

If I was forced to bet I might take no.

Same but it looks like thatā€™s exactly what they want us to do

Refs, take heed
