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.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
