looks like quite a few of your RPIs don't add up. for example, you have ARI's offensive RPI at -6.4.
but if you calculate ARI's offensive RPI by hand you have:
ARI offensive average = 15.9 ppg. their opponents defenses average 12.9 (SF), 20.9 (MIN), 32.4 (BUF), 23.2 (STL), 18 (MIA), 22.1 (PHI), 21.2 (NE), 16.8 (SEA). the average of opponents defensive average is 20.9.
ARI offensive RPI should be 15.9 - 20.9 = -5. there is an even wider discrepancy with ARI's defensive RPI.

silly can you explain how do you come out with these power rankings? or is it your own personal secret...? because i cap games diffrently ..... im just curious how do you decide to put what team on top of what team ? how do you come up with these numbers... same thing with that dude happykane with the mojo chart... i just can never understand that mojo chart of his ... but if it works and win the books.. cheers to u guys!

You're right, I just checked my database and one the online sources I draw from hasn't updated yet. So I'm still using some of their totals from week 8. I'll rerun Arizona's game once the data is updated. Sorry about that, everything is usually good to go by Tuesday morning.

I wish I could run a sheet on Bama - LSU this weekend... because it's freaking ridiculous that Bama is -9.5 point favorites on the road in death valley against a team that is 5-0 at home and 7-1 on the season who by the way ranks #5 in the country. Got to imagine that there's line value on LSU, but you never know.. Bama is unreal.
Are they seriously 9.5 point favorites in a big revenge game like that? Wow thats shocking to me, i don't bet college that much but damm didn't think Bama had that much of an edge over LSU

Agreed. That LSU defense is really good. Granted they really struggle on offense, but this line basically says that Bama would be more than a 2 TD favorite at home, which is unreasonable given how good that Tiger defense is. I definitely could see Bama covering here, but if they do I think it will be close. The more likely outcome is Bama by less than a TD in my opinion.

Week 9 appears to be the toughest week yet, at least for me.
Out of the teams I have available these are my top choices: SD, HOU, DET, DEN, TAM, NYG & SEA
Have to be honest, SU is one thing, but I am not willing the lay the points with Houston. Buffalo off of a buy and Williams return to Houston, this could be a more interesting game than it looks. As shit as the bills are, they do have to ability to strike with the best of them.
Curious as to what you think my man; who might it be best to roll the dice with this week, SU that is. Cheers.

Just have to decide if this is another week for parody? Or is it time for the cream to rise to the top? Look at it just in terms of power rankings:
#32 @ #23
#4 @ #28
#2 @ #24
#30 @ #3
#18 @ #8
#16 @ #11
Looking at it this way and I'm tempted to throw out Atlanta right away.. despite the statistical line value. Chicago, Denver and Houston look particularly good. Giants and Chargers are both a little closer match-ups in terms of talent, but they both own home field.

sil1y just thought I would correct you on the Word Parodyin which I thought was the right word but it's PARITY which is the correct spelling
Someone came into my thread and Corrected me on that word and i also used it
I also looked it up in the dictionary hehe

You can buy the hook if you want on either of those games - but I decided against it myself. On paper, the Bears and Broncos are both expected to substantially out-gain their opponent and both teams sport a much more efficient offense. Put those two together and you have blowout potential in both games. I'm not going to over-think the public consensus numbers or the curiously low lines on either of these games. These two games pass all the tests so I won't wait around for either line to climb past 4 while I can still get them at reduced juice - a valuable asset if these two plays somehow split.

Silly, it's interesting that your #27 team has a 4.5 point edge over your #22 team on Monday night. I don't know what to make of that game myself.
That game will come down to red zone conversions. Whoever gets the ball in the end zone will win. Running the efficiency models through this game and it would appear that the Eagles would have to out gain the Saints by 100+ yards to win this game. I know the Saints defense is bad - so bad that this feat is doable on paper - but I'm not sure that it will be possible in practice in a prime time game on the road in the Superdome. That's where the -4.5 point line came from.

Seattle and Washington have minimal line value, but I'm showing a high probability that in both games both teams will finish with similar total yards. Then it will just boil down to who converts those yards into the most points. I'm liking Miami this week.

If it comes down to Red Zone conversions, it's hard not to like Brees playing at home here with the season already hanging on by a thread.
Out of the 3 others I listed I also like Miami the most there. Thanks for your insight brother

si1ly, I have a question regarding your over/under on worksheets. So, at what point do you consider betting over/under lined compared to your model totals? Is there a percentage that the line is off by or by the number of points? Thank you!
