Just do a search for YPPT in the top menu and you can see the threads from last year. The YPPT method is based on a formula that combines yards per point, home field advantage, and strength of schedule to give a predicted score of the games. I didn't come up with the method, but I have a spreadsheet that calculates the scores. Since the people who did come up with it don't post here any more (or very little), I decided to put up the scores and results each week for those who were interested in it. As Butta has pointed out over in the college thread for this, YPPT is one of many tools you want to use for handicapping a game. And as the results have shown, it's far from perfect and seems better suited for picking SU winners than ATS winners. |

I really got interested in the YPPT Method posted by Roughshod and others on this forum last year. At one point, someone put the YPPT Method into an Excel spreadsheet and posted a copy on the board.
So please note that this is not my formula. I know alot of people are interested in the YPPT Method, so I'm posting the weekly matchups to assist you with your capping. As a point of reference, here is how the system fared for the final half of the 2009 Season. 2009 YPPT NFL Week 10: 8-6 SU, 7-7 ATS Week 11: 8-8 SU, 6-10 ATS Week 12: 14-2 SU, 9-6-1 ATS Week 13: 10-6 SU, 6-10 ATS Week 14: 11-5 SU, 9-7 ATS Week 15: 10-6 SU, 4-11-1 ATS Week 16: 10-6 SU, 8-8 ATS Week 17: 8-8 SU, 6-9-1 ATS WC: 2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS DIV: 2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS CONF: 1-1 SU, 0-2 ATS SB44: 0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS ============================================================== Regular Season Totals: 79-47 SU (63%), 55-68-3 ATS (45%) Playoff Totals: 5-6 SU (45%), 4-7 ATS (36%) Overall Totals: 84-53 SU (61%), 59-75-3 ATS (44%) As you can see, the YPPT method was not very good ATS last year and I'm pretty sure ESPN or USAToday's pick'em gurus probably did better than 61% in SU picks too. But maybe it'll do better this year. Here are the Week 3 NFL Games: TENNESSEE 28 NY GIANTS 26 BUFFALO 17 NEW ENGLAND 34 CLEVELAND 8 BALTIMORE 10 PITTSBURGH 16 TAMPA BAY 7 CINCINNATI 25 CAROLINA 16 ATLANTA 33 NEW ORLEANS 12 SAN FRANCISCO 11 KANSAS CITY 27 DETROIT 12 MINNESOTA 19 DALLAS 13 HOUSTON 50 WASHINGTON 22 ST LOUIS 11 PHILADELPHIA 30* JACKSONVILLE 30 INDIANAPOLIS 31 DENVER 19 SAN DIEGO 27 SEATTLE 16 OAKLAND 14* ARIZONA 14 NY JETS 11 MIAMI 6 GREEN BAY 24 CHICAGO 17 *-PHILADELPHIA and OAKLAND had slightly higher points by decimal, but when rounding the scores, it ended in a tie for each of those games. |
