I got smart enough to draft the Indy D, I've feelin gooood right about now.

Well, like you didn't see it coming, considering they were third in the league in sacks and turnover last year...

is this up yet? The point of view is still on seven keys to sucess in ffl?

Thanks for the hard work!

Maybe I should post a thread consisting of the D/ST from list I chose...as a warning for everyone out there.

Last year I used the rankings with flawless perfection, but so far this year I have selected:

Week 1 - STL - 28 pts allowed, 2 TOs, 2 sacks
Week 2 - DET - 31 pts allowed, 0 TOs, 2 sacks
Week 3 - DAL - 24 pts allowed, 3 TOs, 2 sacks

I'll wait to see the list and let you know which one I am picking for this week!

The formula is inherently inaccurate in the very early weeks of the season... This is precisely the reason I was not going to publish the results until week 4, but I got bombarded with PM's and IM's from people requesting that I publish the list, anyway, in weeks 2 and 3.... So, I published them with a big disclaimer that said, because of the limited data available, these rankings were inherently questionable.... HOWEVER, now that I have a larger amount of data to work with, the rankings should be starting to come together....

Additionally, I have added a strength of schedule component to the formula to help take into account the strength of the offenses the various defenses have already played.... This should keep teams like St. Louis, who have yet to face a strong offense (SF, ARI, TEN) from having their numbers skewed upwards, and teams like Denver, who have faced nothing but strong offenses (MIA, SD, KC) from having their numbers skewed downwards..... I have also placed a modifier into the formula to account for which teams are playing at home, and which are playing in hostile stadiums... Essentially, the home team gets a bonus.... This should also help to make the results a little more accurate.... But, more than anything the natural statistical accuracy of the rankings will strengthen as weeks pass, and I have more data to plug into the formula.... It's like making any statistical prediction, the more trials you have, the closer and closer the actual results will come to the predicted results....

Will most likely be up today, and I will post a discussion thread with actual formula results shortly thereafter in the Waiver Wire forum....

I was just joking, Plinds - I read all the disclaimers and I trust the rankings. Sometimes it just comes down to luck...Chicago hasn't put up that many points in YEARS!! The last time they came close to 38 was Week 7 of 2001 when they scored 37 against the 49ers. It was the most points they scored since they racked up 47 in Week 4 of 1993!!!! What are the chances...

Thanks again for the hard work.
