I.E. factor in Jay Cutler's WPA loss to the win probability of Chicago for this week?<br /><br /><br />BTW I'm a big Packer fan and your model is telling me to go big on Detroit for the upset. I'm a data driven guy, but in this case I might not be able to overcome my heart!Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907737499735342663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-72681517437700925362011-11-23T17:35:45.918-05:002011-11-23T17:35:45.918-05:00btw: would you prefer we comment here or on the NY...btw: would you prefer we comment here or on the NYT blog?Steve Freemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-88951363142587946252011-11-23T16:57:19.874-05:002011-11-23T16:57:19.874-05:00So do we really believe Detroit has a .51 win prob...So do we really believe Detroit has a .51 win probability? Betting lines have them at .28. That's a huge differential. <br /><br />And the AdvancedNFLstat model ignores what seem to me to be some Detroit advantages:<br /><br />1. Home field in a dome seems a greater advantage than in a typical outdoor field -- the noise disrupts visiting offenses (have you ever looked at this?)<br /><br />2. Short week also makes for a greater than normal home field advantage -- travel eats into practice & prep time. (have you ever looked at this?) <br /><br />3. GB injuries in key positions -- left tackle & running back.Steve Freemannoreply@blogger.com
