Predictions

I have completed the calculations for the AFC East and NFC West. I have been extremely busy with work and not had the time I wish I had to finish them. My goal for this week is to complete every division I have remaining. The predictions will be based off of last years stats in points for and points against. I will explain more when I post. The second step of the predictions will be attempting to guess points for and points against for this year based off personnel changes. I know it will be difficult and include guess work but I am excited about trying. All predictions, end of week, guaranteed.

Mark Sanchez or Brian Schottenheimer

Mark Sanchez has often been criticized by New York fans and media.

AFC East

I examined Points For and Points Against from last season. I then used this information and a form of Power Rankings to predict outcomes of games. Here is what the AFC East resulted in due to my calculations.At a later date, I am goingxamine teams and predict how their number change due to personal changes. These subtle changes could have big impacts. The close game between Baltimore and the Patriots in Week 3 could result in a Patriots loss if the Ravens can muster up a bit more offense, or prevent scoring. 

 

Buffalo Bills 4-12

 

New York Jets 7-8-1

 

Miami Dolphins 9-7

New England Patriots 16-0

The 2012-2013 Season Predictions

It is always tough to envision what is going to happen over the course of an NFL season. I have begun the process of trying to predict the records for teams during the 2012-2013 season. I am using a formula I read about in the book Mathletics by Wayne Winston. The formula uses points for and points against to get winning percentage, and try to determine a teams outcome for the season. Over the following weeks I will go through division by division and display my findings. After the analysis with last years stats I will look at teams and try to determine what their off-season moves did to change their production on offense and defense. At that time I will have new results for how many games the teams won and will write about those. It is a long process but should prove to be interesting. I am currently working on the AFC East. The teams in the East will be the first ones to have their data displayed.

Junior Seau Found Dead

It is a sad day in the football world. Junior Seau had died at the age of 43. I remember him as one of the elite defensive players when I was growing up. He is synonymous with the San Diego Chargers and it was amazing to hear the good things said about him by those whose lives he had touched. Hopefully he is in a better place and his family can find peace. He will be missed by many.
