Heard something on the Czabe this AM (who is back on the air in the DC region) mentioned ESPN dropping the other media outlet.

 

I could be wrong but I think he said FiveThirtyEight was also an ESPN product.

Grantland is what they dropped. It was originally a Bill Simmons project, so it makes some sense that it was shut down once he was let go.

So it would seem from the bottom of their page.

This is a very tough game for Miami with Buffalo having the bye, players getting healthy, and not to mention that we always give Tanny trouble. I give them little chance of beating us.

 

Bills win big 40 - 13

Predictions of 7-9 make me sad.

A couple injury filled games have negatively biased the data the models use. If all goes well that should begin to reverse after this week.

fivethirtyeight is well know for political predictions (it is unbiased and usually the most accurate) and does a lot with economics, science, etc. They've also been into modeling predictive models for different sports so I'd wager ESPN partnered with them to get their modeling expertise on the sports stuff.

 

The Freakenomics guys do similar modeling and actually showed that Sumo wrestling was fixed in certain cases. Apparently they did the same with horse racing, but instead of making the data and conclusions public they decided it'd be better to continue to bet on the races. Which was probably a really good way to go since a bunch of people in the Sumo community wound up murdered by the Yakuza after that scandal broke.

Any reasonably sophisticated model would take things like that into consideration. But don't forget that those models give odds and report the most likely scenario. Better (and worse) scenarios can have decent chances too.

Have you seen Rex's 1-5 record after the bye? Including that drubbing in Detroit last year at the hands of the Bills...

You do know that the Dolphins had an extended week also? They played a Thursday night game.
