eball Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 That is one of the most ridiculous exercises in forecasting I've seen. "Hey, let's print a random analysis that is nothing more than the writer's opinion, but add numbers and a bar graph so it looks scientific."
scribo Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Regardless of how this was done, the fact is that "experts" are starting to up their predictions for the Bills' season. Maybe J.P.'s preseason performances has them thinking he may work out after all?
Dan Gross Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Hey, Mock! Can we get an exclusion for Mr. King here and enter him in the Dinner's On Me Smart-Ass Contest ? And, the way I read it, the +/- 1 games could go either way. Doesn't that mean the "max" the Bills could do is 12 wins? Funny how they have less of a chance to beat the Dolphins, at home, in Winter, during "Dolphin December Slide" season, then in Miami at the beginning of the season in the heat before the Bills have had a chance to gel...
Dibs Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 That is one of the most ridiculous exercises in forecasting I've seen. "Hey, let's print a random analysis that is nothing more than the writer's opinion, but add numbers and a bar graph so it looks scientific." 756975[/snapback] Actually, I don't mind at all seeing a listing of each teams individual predicted win/lose along side their predicted record. Seeing (roughly speaking) the odds of each win/loss is also sort of cool. I'm not saying the predictions have merit but personally I would like to see all predictions done in a similar manor so I can see which teams they actually think will beat/lose to a certain team....yes PWF preview 2006, I'm talking to you.

That is BEST CASE predictions. They have us beating the Titans... & they have the Titans beating us. Best Case & they don't think we can beat the Texans. I should look more closely before I post next time.
Cugalabanza Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I don't mean to intrude upon Mr. King's pseudo-professionalistical statisticular-ogical analytic-type pontifications, but the "BEST CASE" for all teams is still 19-0 and Super Bowl Champs. Thank you. Ok, bye.
5 Wide Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Best case scenerio has us getting smoked by the Pats week one, another shining example as to why you shouldn't write a column while mixing alcohol and horse tranquilizers

And i was wondering the samre thing about the dolphin games? wtf?
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writ...wins/bills.html 756972[/snapback] So the "best case" is that the Bills will lose to Miami in Miami in September...and lose worse to Miami in Buffalo in December? What the !@#$ is this stupidity? And that ludicrous bar graph... This looks like a ridiculous attempt to make predictions he doesn't have to be held accountable for...
muggins Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 He has indy beating NE with a 3 second left field goal from Adam Vinatieri... Only way indy could beat NE is if they have a former patriot ?
Indy Dave Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 He has indy beating NE with a 3 second left field goal from Adam Vinatieri... Only way indy could beat NE is if they have a former patriot ? 757221[/snapback] Not for nothing, but I don't recall the Colts having much trouble with the Patriots last year in New England on a Monday night.
Swift Sylvan Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 More like worst case scenario, 8-8 is the bottom of the barrel in terms of his predictions. The detroit lions are 11-5 in this.
Doza Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Check out the Colts page, ballwashing extrodinare. They had to pick up a kicker off the street because Adam is out for a month. How is that working out for you?
muggins Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 More like worst case scenario, 8-8 is the bottom of the barrel in terms of his predictions. The detroit lions are 11-5 in this. Hahahhaha Lions 11-5? Hahaha
