Too Good to be True

Posted on July 29, 2009 by bomitchell

I knew it was too good to be true!
For anyone who ever questions my objectivity in analyzing sports, as I do for a living, I need only point to the fact that I have been a long-suffering Minnesota Vikings fan my entire life and my favorite football player of all time built his Hall of [...]

NFL Strength of Schedule

Posted on July 15, 2009 by bomitchell

I always find NFL strength of schedule analysis to be a bit overrated because it is based solely on last year’s winning percentages and does not account for the changes made since via free agency and the draft. Nor does it account for injuries. Case in point: does anyone think the New England Patriots will [...]

Super Close

Posted on February 2, 2009 by bomitchell

Missed it by THAT much!
Specifically, I missed nailing my predicted outcome of Super Bowl XLIII by 36 seconds.  Need proof? Scroll down to the blog post immediately prior to this one. In it I forecast a Cardinals victory by a final score of 23-20. The prediction looked more like prophesy when Larry Fitzgerald (who by [...]

NFL Strength of Schedule

Posted on April 17, 2008 by bomitchell

The NFL released its 2008 schedule on Tuesday, and while I never put much stock in strength of schedule analysis, especially for fantasy football, it is always entertaining water cooler fodder. Particularly entertaining this year is the fact that last season’s undefeated team has the easiest schedule in the league this year. How’d that [...]
