The Signal and the Noise: The Benefits of Theory
I got Nate Silver’s book ‘The Signal and The Noise’ as an early Christmas present (thanks Dad!) and just finished it last night. I’m hoping to touch on a few different points from the book over time, but today I’m … Continue reading
Falcons-Saints Thursday Night Pick
The NFL has taken something of an odd approach to Thursday night games. Three years after creating the NFL Network, some games started airing on the channel. If memory serves, people were upset because the NFL Network is a cable … Continue reading
NFL Week 12 Power Rankings and Playoff Predictions
After embarrassing the Jets and driving Fireman Ed into retirement, the Patriots are still the number one team in the power rankings. In fact, things are looking pretty AFC-heavy right now. Atlanta would like to argue, but their array of … Continue reading

NFL Week 11 Playoff Predictions
There weren’t too many big moves in the rankings after this week, at least by rank. Chicago took a hit, obviously, as they stunk up the joint against the 49ers on Monday night. Perhaps more notable is that the Patriots … Continue reading
NFL Week 11 Recap
We’ve nearly hit the end of my travel time for the year, but not quite. I was out of town for the weekend and only got to see part of the Lions-Packers game, so I don’t have much to say … Continue reading
NFL Week 11 Picks – When Everyone Was Injured
Update: The Monday Night game has numbers of a -3.5 spread, -185/+175 moneyline, and 35 point over/under. I’ll use those numbers when I put up the model results tomorrow. This week seems to be the most appropriate place to point … Continue reading
