Play By Play Picks: (Underdogs with expected advantages in key stats)
*********************************************************************
Kansas City +7 (Best Bet) over GREEN BAY
San Francisco +7 over ARIZONA
Jacksonville +13.5 over NEW ENGLAND
Buffalo +3 over MIAMI
Tennessee +3.5 looks very good but 0-2 Indy is in a desparate spot so I am not playing it.
Redskins +4 also look live, but same thing 0-2 Giants, short week and on the road so nixing this one as well.
Please read below to find out how all this works....
This analysis is from evaluating the results of each NFL game on a play by play level. I download every play into a database then I run a computer program that analyzes what happened on the play. I create ratings for both offense and defense for the following:
I then adjust all the statistics based on the quality of the opponent.
What you see below are the fruits of my labor. I hope that by looking deep within the game, we may be able to uncover some good analysis for wagering.
Overall - This is how well a team effectively controlls the line of scrimmage from BOTH an offensive and defensive perspective
Run - This is how well a team effectively controlls the line of scrimmage from BOTH an offensive and defensive perspective for runs only
Pass - This is how well a team effectively controlls the line of scrimmage from BOTH an offensive and defensive perspective for pass only
Big Play - This is how well a team effectively creates big plays (10+ running 20+ passing) on offense AND stops big plays on defense
RedZone - This is how EFFICIENT the team is in the red zone on offense AND how adept they are in the red zone on defense.
With only two weeks of data, we don't know much, in theory we should get better as the year goes on.
Play By Play Analysis For Week 2
Best of luck to all.
