    XFLvs. NFL rule differences



    Fun little video

    You should probably get familiar with these rules before you wager on any of this, or else you may get very frustrated.

    They're trying to speed up the game.
    Come from behind victories look like they will be harder

    Wow...

    A lot of differences. XFL games are going to be a circus with these rules. Handicapping them is going to be interesting.

    Thanks for the points HMAN.

    Kickoffs are weird.
    Punts are weirder
    2 timeouts per half
    1, 2 or 3 point extra points, no kicker

    At the end of Seattle/DC game, play by play commentator Steve Levy pointed out how tight the over/under was.

    Interesting

    Once was taboo to discuss during the games, may be incorporated into the play by play

    Same with the point spread. That field goal covered the over and the spread, but the running into the kicker penalty gave the Dragons a 1st down and then they fumbled the ball which killed everything. Crazy how dead on the oddsmakers were with this one.

    Can't wait to see some 2 forward pass plays. Would have figured we would have seen some already. I would try the 3 point play every time just for the fact I would have more field to play with.

    They are going to make a point to discuss betting during the broadcast. It will be a part of their talking points and in the production.

    Not sure that will translate to the NFL or other sports, but XFL will make it a point.

    With the shit money these guys are being paid, I can see players purposely tanking games and betting on the other team.

    Ya think? Helllooooooo. Why else would they have this league going the week after the Super Bowl? The only people sane watching this would have action on it. Common. Common. Ya know!

    It goes pretty quick.

    This game has actually been pretty good. Walker just threw his 4th TD.

    More fun than I thought. You can tell why most of these players didn't make it in the NFL though.

    After week 1 did you guys see that the rule differences made much of a difference in scoring?

    Hard to tell. That sped up shot clock is designed to increase plays and thus scoring, but they are not used to it at all.

    I think this was the first time the guys on defense could actually hit someone.

    I think there was no hitting in practice, at all. So it's tough to make a call after week 1. Let's see what next week's line indicate.

    I'm running some early metrics to form the lines, openers and refined. We really need 4 weeks of data to run with full potential, but we can start adding inputs right away. At least there wasn't a "buy" screwing up the stats.

    Totals also come out way later (at least they did last week), probably for obvious reason with all these changes, so we have time to mess with this.

    It's a ten week regular season, that gives us six good weeks to see the market mature, starting with week 5 and running a 4 week rolling analysis of the markets until playoffs.

    Looking forward to running market analyis over this stuff, I'll post about it as well.

    Haven't been this excited over a market in a long time.

    3 unders of 4.
    1 score 31+19=50, o/u51 1/2
    3 favorites home covered, 1 road dog outright won(starting qb out with injury)

    Good first week. I liked it, didn't wager either.

    Ended up on the last upset live at +199.

    Good action down the stretch.

    Also, the two teams favored to win it all before the weekend both lost on Sunday. Love that kind of market.
