We believe that the best statistics are those that are easy for the normal fan to understand.
We love football. We also love math. And while those two things don't usually sit next to each other on the couch, we realized they should. Our mission is simple: to transform raw NFL data into clear, statistically-backed probabilities you can actually use. We don't just guess; we simulate. A lot.
A breakdown of the mathematical engine.
The results are derived from proven mathematical simulations using actual NFL performance metrics and absolute data.
The engine executes 10,000 separate simulations in an instant. By aggregating thousands of game scripts, we eliminate statistical noise and determine the most probable average outcome.
We do not simulate play-by-play (e.g., 1st & 10). Instead, we calculate the expected Total Drives (e.g., 22) and simulate the result of each possession sequentially.
For every drive, the engine weighs Offense Efficiency vs. Defense Rank, plus a "Volatility" factor for randomness.
If a drive results in a Field Goal or Turnover, a secondary roll occurs. This determines if the FG was missed or if the turnover resulted in a defensive touchdown.
Specific player injuries (e.g., "Star QB is out") are not automatically calculated. The engine uses season-long team averages.
Tip: If a key player is missing, manually lower your expectations for that team's score.All NFL data metrics used in our simulations are refreshed every Tuesday morning at 6am (EST). Simulations are re-run every hour after the game odds have been refreshed. Injury data is typically refreshed through out the day, every 6 hours.
