Time for the Week 10 picks! While I’m struggling to put the rest of the picks together, here’s the pick for tonight’s Chicago / San Francisco game – Chicago has the better record, so they’re the IT pick. San Francisco has the higher beatpath ranking, so it’s the Beatpath pick. But there’s no beatpath relationship, [...]
Tom here with commentary on the rankings changes from Week 9. The number of rank changes is actually slightly up from last week. This is a bit surprising really. There were a number of significant upsets leading up to the Week 8 rankings (all of which contradicted a Beatpick), whereas there were only three games [...]
Kenneth here with the rankings again! I almost forgot to put something up here. I guess I was just so antsy to get right into the rankings. Well, I’m okay with making you guys wait, but I sure as heck won’t deny myself any longer. AWAY WE GO! Rank Team Notes Last Week EdgePower 1 [...]
A crazier graph this week – check out CAR->ARI basically splitting the graph in two. Pittsburgh beats Denver and sheds their Cincinnati beatloss. Denver will still be ranked highly this week, but if Pittsburgh wins when they host Cincinnati next week, expect to see them with a beatpath to Denver. Beatpaths was 10-3 this week, [...]
Time for the Week 9 picks! (Better late than never.) Beatpaths and ITB were 8-5 this week, while Isaacson-Tarbell was 7-6. I didn’t make any personal picks, so I am still two ahead of the ITB picks for the season. The BeatPicks were 5-5, or 20-8 for the season. Three games are BeatPicks this week, [...]
Tom here with commentary on the rankings changes from Week 8. Stability & Variance Two big movers this week, Philadelphia and Arizona, each moving over ten ranks. The overall ranking changes have fallen again, demonstrating more overall stability in the rankings after the shakeup in Week 6. One point of comparison with Week 8 is [...]
Kenneth here folks, and I want to apologize for this coming up late. There were some issues getting things together this week here at BeatPaths. Nevertheless, let’s go forward with this week’s EXCITING RANKINGS! Rank Team Notes Last Week EdgePower 1 (Beat ATL) What’s most exciting? Well, how does a new top team sound to [...]
We have a more collapsed graph this week, due to upsets breaking some long beatpath chains. More teams with no beatlosses, too – Denver loses two beatwins due to their loss to Baltimore, and has a much more precarious position atop the graph this week. Beatpaths and ITB were 8-5 this week, while Isaacson-Tarbell was [...]
Hello everyone, Tom here with my post, getting things done at the last minute. Nothing like grading 40 atrocious midterms to suck the time right out of your week. Luckily, I found an extra hour from the switch away from daylight savings. I’ll keep it short and sweet. Stability & Variance The Week 7 rankings [...]
