    Some graphical/numerical handicapping tools I've made

    ***Some of the links aren't working correctly, but you can click on the right sidebar to get to them once on the site***

    For a fun quick look or more in depth matchup analysis, free to enjoy or use.

    Which offenses or defenses are trending hot or cold?

    How do offenses match up versus opposing defenses this week?

    Want to know which players started at each position along with their depth chart position for each week so far?

    I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about these.

    But he lets you post tools on his website? You said you wrote these tools?

    More seizure inducing than Japanese cartoons, it's true! lol The colors are all coded for quick visualizations that help you digest the numbers. Blue is for a higher than NFL average frequency for the play run/defensed, while yellow is for lower than average. Green is for higher than average results on yards per play (so green is good for offenses, bad for defenses), which means red is for below average yards per play run/defensed. I've also included matchup points to show mismatches that pass a certain threshold of frequency and projected success or lack thereof. So even if a team is projected to do well in one category they may not get a matchup point if the average number of times they run or defend the play combined with the opponent's frequency for defending/running the play falls below a threshold I've set a certain amount below league average, so that points aren't awarded for something a team hasn't done very often or defended very often.

    Do you subscribe to his service? Or do you just track the computer rankings here?

    His site is to track the performance of lines that handicappers who generate their lines with computers make for all games each week -- just sides, not totals. So no, the things I post on my site are not on his. My lines for all sides are posted there Sunday morning.
