Super Bowl point spread - what does Vegas know? (1 Viewer)

Think they are full but I'd offer a percentage (up to half) of mine if you like.

Oops. I guessed I read through it too quickly.

I'll take you up on that. I'll take anywhere between $20-50, whatever you prefer.

Sounds good. As you wanted a full $100 we'll go 50/50... some of that Bentax rungood can only help my chances ;)
 
For anyone interested. I calculated the strength of schedule adjusted yards per play for offensive and defensive stats. This is far more predictive of future success than is previous points scored or previous points allowed. This adjusts each team's offensive and defensive efficiencies for the respective offenses and defenses they played against. I took a similar mathematical approach as what Michael Beuoy does here: http://community.advancednflstats.com/2011/11/one-of-more-interesting-components-to.html

There are of course other metrics that could be added to tell a more complete story, and if handicapping the game, I would, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better metric to quantify a team's offensive and defensive overall value than these.

So far....
1-Legend 672
2-Guinness
3-Ssanel54
4-Ronoh
5-PAZ
6-72o
7-Kirchausen
8-links-slayer
9-biscohead
10- Keith the butcher


I guess we'll keep this order unless anyone wants to change it up.

Tomorrow night mass daily number will be the key. So if the number is 8478.....
Legend -8
Guinness -9
Ssanel -0
Ronoh -1. Etc....

Comments ?questions ? concerns? complaints ? ( my finance professor used to say this at Northeastern used to say this. Think his name might have been a Duncan Ketowicz)
 
We all just shipping to the winner in the $100 pool?
 
I'd prefer that everyone paid up front, but if you'll are cool with that way, it's ok by me.
 
Doesn't matter to me, just hadn't received payment info so figured I'd ask ;)

This must be broken if Jacksonville cracks top 5
 
They actually had one of the toughest schedules, and their defense is pretty good. The strength of schedule adjustment gives them quite a boost. But they can't score for shit, obviously.
 
Sorry but what exacty does that mean? Do I have 2 or 4?
I believe you have 2. If commish could verify and repost list with official numbers to avoid any possibility of confusion that would be good ;)

3- Kirchausen
4- links-slayer

6- Keith the butcher

Those should be the official numbers. Again, wait for commish to verify.
 
Thanks ronoh. Let's hope it ends up crazy exciting with decisions on going for 2 or long field goals that look like they're hooking wide and drift back inside the goalpost
 
Oh yeah, I love poker chips . They are good and nice and cool and beauty full
 
Legend, wake up, what are the numbers? Also, assuming paypal friend payment (no fees). Send all the crap via PM before I'm too drunk to type (or can settle up tomorrow). I want my sweat now though!!

GO PATS

If anyone wants to offset some of their action, I am in for up to $50.
 
Anyone want additional action? I'll take ATL and the 3 points for $50.
