This NFL Score Predictor-Useful Or Not?

not bad, but it usually predicts pretty close to the spread/money line from my experience

Hey Mike, how ya been?

Thanks for checkin in. So you use this and it's not bad?

Thing about it I can't figure out is why do they have an adjustment mechanism for the predictive factors?

Wouldn't it make more sense to have all settings at maximum?

I wonder how this affects it's accuracy?

Seems like it could be a useful tool if it can be worked out properly.

Thoughts?

you can adjust all the settings to maximum or you can tweak them based on whether or not you think stuff like yds/play are important

never hurts to check tools like that, it says green bay is 53.6% to cover the spread vs sf.

not a huge advantage but all other things being equal it's better to be on the 53.6% side, then you can factor in west coast team traveling east and green bay is probably 55%+ to cover

I saw that site in 2009. Useless in my opinion, it's 50/50 like a coin toss.
