helptheSKINS Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 This has to be the worst site I've ever seen. They have the Skins starting out 0-6 then blowing out the Patriots in New England for our first win. ENJOY! *sidenote, Dallas is winning it all http://www.txreviews.com/blog/?page_id=636 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 He just ran the teams thru a number generator. Nothing really football specific besides the team's schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Om Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 He just ran the teams thru a number generator. Nothing really football specific besides the team's schedules. Precisely. He even makes a point of saying so right off the top: # What, are you mental? No. # Seriously. You can’t expect to predict NFL games before training camp. Obviously. # Then what’s the dealio? Well, these are random predictions. I use the random number generator in Excel to generate random scores based on past performances. I call them my Completely Algorithmic Random Projections (CARP) when they’re good, because even when they’re good they’re kind of fishy, and my Completely Random Algorithmic Predictions (CRAP) when they’re not so good. # Why bother? Look, you have tons of people who follow the NFL and know their stuff making these kind of predictions every day — in the offseason, no less. I am just an ordinary fan, but any prediction that I make is just as valid as any prediction that anyone from ESPN or SI.com makes — that is to say, my stupid predictions aren’t any more or less stupid than their stupid predictions. Because you just never know. I kind of like this guy. This one's a bookmark for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisc0015 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I like his predictions. He points out that predicting the outcome of games is worthless, especially when individuals get paid to do so... He can throw games into a random number generator to determine the scores and will likely have a higher Right-Wrong percentage than most of the 'experts'.
