Obviously you can&#39;t use their previous success to predict how the cheerleaders will do when they get in the game. Will the model restart basically and push the Colt&#39;s efficiency back towards the league average?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-6317725359579535732009-12-06T05:43:03.589-05:002009-12-06T05:43:03.589-05:00Yes, it changes the coefficient for fumbles.

Not sure how they compare to the spread but I have been using them as my #1 source for predictions in a pickem pool where we pick straight up winners. Obviously diversification is key in a large pool like that so when your odds of winning are significantly different from the way the rest of the pool is picking I go against it (along with by own thoughts). <br /><br />So far 2nd place 1 game out of first with 3 weekly wins out of a pool of 25 people. Not bad at all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-65214490856423786952009-12-01T17:58:50.532-05:002009-12-01T17:58:50.532-05:00Past opponents.<br /><br />The fumbles this year are only rushing fumbles. It&#39;s something I didn&#39;t originally intend to do, but I&#39;m sticking with it for the rest of the year and it seems to be working well.Brian Burkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12371470711365236987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-47007728898304199902009-12-01T13:03:45.974-05:002009-12-01T13:03:45.974-05:00May have been asked already.<br /><br />There has been discussion of updated coefficients for the 2009 season. How might they differ from the coefficients listed in the October 2007 article and the game model explained (Part I) from this past January?<br /><br />The oFumble Rate is different than last year - much lower. Does it now only include fumbles lost while on off / (rush plays + pass att + sacks) ? I take it previous year&#39;s oFumble Rate included total fumbles while on offense.<br /><br />Thank you.Jero Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-56949722794029424612009-12-01T12:17:11.744-05:002009-12-01T12:17:11.744-05:00Is Opp GWP the *past* opponent&#39;s generic win probability or future opponents?mileslibbey4https://me.yahoo.com/mileslibbey4noreply@blogger.com
