ESPN FPI to win the west

Fwiw I know most of these analytic tools give the HC/OC/DC grades that are basically +/- WAR. I don't know how FPI does it. I know Chins grades very well on most.

I also know they struggle with teams that are good offense and defense and historically bad special teams.

I had a buddy in the Gambling/Book Making Industry. He said they accounted for coaches when putting Spreads together. Told me that Dave Wannstedt was a -3 when he was coaching in the NFL, meaning they felt he cost his team 3 points/game with poor coaching.

Pitt at 9 is a bit odd isn't it? Who is their qb for 2022?

What'd they say about Frosty? Or is it truly had vs. have?

That's right. Did they not lose much other than the qb and top 5 offensive coordinator?

Other than that no. They return a ton on defense and the WR too.

Welp, we're fucked again .. wonder if Vegas could follow suit and give us a crazy over/under win number for the season so we can make bank

I've consistently bet the under win total under Frost and it's paid off.

They are great against the spread in games lately but an easy bet to lose a lot of games.

I have no idea. This was before Frosty took over. Would be interesting to find out though.

No fucking clue Jim.

How does FPI incorporate incompetent coaching? Unless that’s factored in this means nothing.

4-8.

Are you strictly talking about Frost? Because the defensive staff has held up their end of the deal thus far and we have a brand new offensive staff. I mean, I'm pretty critical of the Raiola hire, but that's just because of a lack of any experience not because he is necessarily an incompetent coach.

Slept on this to really give it the time it deserves…

It is science. We goin to the ship.

McClintok has us at #35 in his rankings. Wiscy is at #18. Cockeye is at #10 - Cockeye does have a lot of returning starters if I recall.
