1 comment:
Looking at these prediction at the end of the season, it seems like the power rankings were more accurate than the standings, but these hold up okay. Your playoffs would have 7 or 8 of the same 12 playoff teams (depending on the tiebreaker between NO and Chi). Comparing that to the Fox Sports preseason expert picks, their 7 experts scored 1 6, 4 7's, and 2 8's, so you beat their average. Your teams that you missed on the most seem to be the same as the experts, Houston (9 games worse than predicted), Washington (7 games worse than predicted), Atlanta (6 games worse than predicted). Arizona, Carolina, and Philadelphia were also off by 4 or 5 games. Seems odd that Washington was pretty low on your power rating, and Philadelphia was pretty high, yet their records didn't match that. You had Cincinnati above Baltimore in power rating, Indianapolis above Houston, New Orleans above Atlanta. If you had taken your playoff picks directly from your power ratings, you would have picked 10 of the 12 playoff teams correctly.
