Tell me again how they are always spot on?

I mean they generally are spot on.  The goal of the line isn’t to actually get it right.  It’s for the masses to be equally split on what might happen.  7 seems about perfect.   Hard to argue going over or under 7 right now.

I said "for the most part" I sure as hell said there were not 100%,  I clearly indicted there were exceptions to the rules.  But for the most part they are pretty accurate

feel free to cross reference here

@mrcompletely11 has a point with this data. One thing to note though, "vegas" was off by 2 or more wins on 14 teams, or nearly half the league. In many cases, that didn't make much difference, the Panthers, Jags, Lions, Giants etc as they were all bottom tier teams and vegas had that part right, just the positioning is all wrong.

This 2 win differences make a much bigger difference in the middle and top half, where playoff positioning matters. My opinion, there is a much bigger difference between 10-7 and 8-9, compared to 5-12 and 3-14.

All in all though, it's impressive the accuracy is at least ballpark. The Bengals are the only real outlier and the others with a greater than 2 win difference were mostly bottom tier teams. They were projected to be garbage so that part was accurate.

One season of data that just by glass is 50/50...

 

I'll import a larger data set and use an excel SQL spreadsheet to break it down for you over a larger sample size.

This is also correct. More data is needed. Like 10 years or more.

The article in op was in comparison to the Bengals of last year. Suddenly it’s hijacked by the same rhetoric…

Frankw rippadon just to add another few. 

I haven't entered the thread yet and I'm already in your head. Amusing. But I would be thrilled if Baker leads us to the playoffs. First I need to see this coaching staff field an OL that isn't bottom of the league though.

There are posters here who I honestly think would be angry if we had a good season.

This is the unfortunate truth.

A lot of resident shitposters find comfort in being angry since that's their default state of existing. Pointing it out to them just gets that weirdo "Why are you complaining about complaining, I know you are but what am I" response. It is almost as if they have to gaslight others into being as enraged and miserable as they are.

It is what it is. Just put those posters on the ignore list and let them drown with the other sad bois.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
