What If Sports which looks like part of the Fox Sports Network just published their 2009 AFC predictions. They use computer modelling and simulate each game 1000 times they claim. Anyway here are the predictions for 2009 and 2008. http://www.whatifsports.com/beyondtheboxscore/default.asp?article=2009NFLAEAST http://www.whatifsports.com/beyondtheboxscore/default.asp?article=20080610
2008=5-11=4th place 2009=9-7=3rd place Amazing, we add JT, Wilson, Grove, Wake, Green, the Jets have nothing at Qb, and yet they finish ahead of us? We compete with the Pats for the Division Crown. When their listed "biggest weakness" is covering kicks, they are really looking hard for a "biggest weakness", they also did not notice our coverage team turned it around at midseason, but was so bad earlier we were stuck in 29th position or so.
So we have a better chance to win IN New England then against the same team at home? Methinks someones numbers be wrong!
They can simulate the games 5,000,000. Their predictions still wouldn't be anymore accurate than mine or anyone else's. Their simulations do not have accurate talent assessments, correct playbooks, account for injury, weather, etc.
Agree with MonstBlitz, predictions are worthless when you don't have all the facts, changes, training and coaching factors. Interesting read, wrong, but interesting. Worst we do is 10-6 IMHO and best the Jests do is 7-9 IMHO. But my opinion has no homerism involved whatsoever . . .
Honestly I think there numbers are wrong. Look at their 2008 predictions for example. But I think at worst we go 8-8 or as high as 12-4. This team has really solidified a lot of it's weaknesses.
Funny stuff. AND David Clowney as a fantasy sleeper??? His 1 catch in 2 years warrants this how again? How do they expect to go 9-7 with their fantasy sleeper being one of the WR on the roster.. haha Since when was Jim Leonard ever considered a top return man?
ridiculous the NFL has got a reality check coming Miami is going to be a nightmare to play at home or away they will have to bring it through Miami & that is not going to be easy
Interesting read, nevertheless I've never known any person, or simulator who accurately predicted an NFL season even 50% correctly. These things are fun though, especially in the off-season.
Their prediction for last year just proves this whole thing is a bunch of crap. I dont even look at predictions anymore after last year. Anything can and will happen. Always does...
