Trying to imitate PLindsey

[latsprewell20002000]

I know this is not the place to ask questions. MOST weeks I just roll with Chicago and hope for the best. Then I started to really get into all this matchup thing. I have done it in the past but not too often. Last week I had Chicago DST but I picked up Washington to play against the Eagles. Thinking it was a great matchup..... I ended up losing my game as a result of this decision.

Would you guys pick up and start the Browns DST or would you just stick with Chicago for the hopes that Hester does his thing.

Thanks for all the hard work biju.
Im trying to get a jump on week 8.

the best available in my league

Tenn vs Indy
Cinn @ Sea
SD @ KC
Hou vs Jax
Buf vs Wash

Cleveland looked good and scored well for me! - I'll be guessing Houston and/or Buffalo for week 8, but I cant wait to see formula results again. Great work biju!

Cleveland was money for me. Won a few games in IBL because of it. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to seeing the next result.

I'll predict NYG, CIN and BUF all end up in biju's Top 5 when his machine finally spits out some week 8 stuff.

I agree. I picked up the Giants off waivers in 1 league.

Would it be possible to get these results for the next 2 weeks everyweek? That way there will be less of a guessing game on Tuesday which defenses will rank near the top.

As always, thanks for the info biju

Apologies for the delay folks, work was...very busy this week. Looks like most of you already have a good read on the situation now...

Code: Select all

New Orleans Saints     77.5
San Francisco 49ers    75.3
Cincinnati Bengals     71.0
Kansas City Chiefs     66.7

A NOTE about Normalization: Normalized projections are derived by taking the highest possible scoring defensive matchup (best DST matchup between two teams) and the lowest possible scoring defensive matchup, creating a scale of 0-100 and assigning value to each matchup score to give an overall rating so you can make relevance decisions instead of simply trading up to get higher on the chart.

Enjoy.

This is a quick "warning shot" to all of the folks who follow this thread: I'm going to be in Australia during the month of November and will not be able to update the rankings ahead of that time. I'll be available for next week and my plan then is to create the next 5 weeks of rankings from the post week 8 data.

Is that going to be accurate during that time? Not as accurate as if they were done weekly, but better than you would expect. I would continue to keep in mind that this doesn't take into account injury and the longer things run the less the formula takes into account the first few weeks as well as "anomalies" within the season.
