(In)Accuracy Rankings for NFL Experts: When Knowledge Is NOT Power
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Special thanks to Zach Rosenfield at AccuScore for providing me with their win projections for 2009, which, although publicly available when I started this analysis, were replaced by their 2010 projections by the time I finished it. Also, thanks to everyone on NN who suggested...
PUT YOUR NAME ON IT: What Will The Texans' Record Be At The End Of The Regular Season?
TexansForever raised the same question in this FanPost, so I figured it was a fine time to check in on my preseason prediction regarding the regular season record of your Houston Texans. Back in early September, I reluctantly concluded the Texans would finish 10-6. Specifically, I said the Texans...
Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game
Last week, yours truly correctly predicted that (1) Jacques Reeves would have an interception and (2) Matt Schaub's streak of turnover-less football would end. Pretty good, right? Kindly ignore the misplaced faith in Steve Slaton's hands, Owen Daniels' health, Schaub's ability to limit his...
Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game
It's been an awfully long week in the non-blogging realm, and you know the drill by now, so let's get to it. Three things written in the stars to happen on Sunday when San Francisco rolls into Reliant: 1. In the last two weeks, Matt Schaub has thrown for 763 yards, 6 TDs, and 2 INTs. It says...
Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game
No doubt about it--last week's "Three And Out" was likely as close as I'll ever get to credibility. You might think I'd quit while I was (relatively) ahead. But when has that philosophy ever worked? Besides in Vegas, I mean? Onward! 1. Your starting offensive line, barring another...
Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game
Last week, I really wasn't right about anything. Unless you count the part about JaMarcus Russell being incompetent, which is a universal truth that I shouldn't get credit for parroting. Can I do better this week? Probably not, but I've never let repeated public failure stop me before, and I'm...
Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game
Just in case you start thinking I don't know what I'm talking about, take a look at my sage words prior to last week's tussle. And by that I mean, "Read only the first part of the first prediction where I said Matt Schaub would throw for 291 yards." I was only nine (9) yards off. Nostradamus has...
Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game
Boy, was I psychic last week or what? Good thing accountability isn't a prerequisite in the prediction biz, or I might hold off on flapping my gums about three (3) things sure to happen when your Houston Texans tangle with Bud Adams' Army of Darkness on Sunday. Without further ado: 1. Super...
PUT YOUR NAME ON IT: Texans Will Finish (Gulp) 10-6
Although your Houston Texans don't take the field until Sunday, the NFL regular season kicks off tomorrow night. And since I have yet to make my "official" prediction on the Texans' regular season record, I'd better get on my horse. Last year, I called 9-7. The year before that, I called 8-8. ...
