So this Vikings-Colts got me thinking about the definition of "garbage time" as used by the tweeter, which is win probability of 20-80%. I figured most of this game would have been considered garbage time and I was right (from 1:16 left in the 1st to 2:31 left in the 4th) even though clearly a lot of that was far from what we would think as garbage. 

So then I went back and checked the Panthers-Bengals game. Once you look at the win probability chart, it makes sense the Panthers fare as well as they do. Cause by their definition, "garbage time" started at 12:26 in the FIRST QUARTER. Literally all but the first 2 and a half minutes wouldn't have been used in the calculation for the graph in the tweet, as amazing as that sounds. Part of it is that the Bengals were so heavily favored given how bad the Panthers were considered at the time that they nearly had an 80% win probability from kickoff.

Good point and only needs a simple fix:

 

Garbage time only occurs in 4th quarter and still apply the 80%/20% rule.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I'm sorry but if you're saying the things you are then you don't know ball or are just trolling.    Differential says the hornets are the 7-8th best team in the NBA. They started the year off injured and horrible in clutch moments. They are -6 in expected record because of the above two things and have found out how to win.    Coaching is absolutely not a problem at all, it's a big reason they are turning the corner and winning.    12-3 over the last 15 with only one of those losses at full strength.  +2.8 differential  Starting lineup has the best net of any 5 man lineup in NBA history. They are favorites in 15 of the teams last 22 games.  Their expected record is 44-38, which likely gets them the 6th seed.

      I wouldn’t complain if we drafted Dillon Thieneman at #19 and finally fix the FS black hole we’ve had for so long. He’s a natural cover 3 FS.
