Changing The Way We Evaluate NFL QB Prospects
There is no more exciting time in the NFL, in my opinion, than the NFL Draft.

The surplus value of getting a…
2021 NFL Free Agency Value Projections
We are less than two weeks away from the start of NFL free agency, which figures to be much more chaotic than years past! First off, no one seems to know exactly what the cap number will be for 2021, but it is likely to be around $180 million, much less than previous seasons. Thus,…
NFL: Playing “GM” For Every AFC Team Ahead of Free Agency
Last Sunday, we reached a sad point of the yearly cycle: it was the first Sunday without football. Fret not, though!

For the first time ever, we had six games in the wildcard round, and we were not disappointed! It all started with a down-to-the-wire matchup between the Colts and Bills. Then, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks suffered a massive letdown, which led right into a Tom Brady-Taylor Heinicke shootout! On Sunday, the Ravens got their…
2020-21 NFL Wildcard Round Game-By-Game Model Projections
It is finally here! The playoffs are upon us! Week 17 didn’t possess the same type of “pizazz” it normally does, as there weren’t any major shakeups in the playoff picture, but there were plenty of storylines to follow, and it was our last chance to watch the 18 teams who did not qualify for…
2020 NFL Week 17 Game-By-Game Model Projections
Week 16 was an interesting week, to say the least.

2020 NFL Week 16 Game-By-Game Model Projections
If 2020 has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected, and Week 15 was a clear example of that. The Jets not only won a football game, but did so as 17.5-point underdogs against the Rams! Then, on Monday Night Football, the Bengals upset the Steelers as 14-point underdogs. To sum it up,…
