NFL Touchdown Data (Week 9) (And a Confession..)
Confession first: I'm struggling with putting these posts/videos out with authenticity. The more I compile the data, the more I realize these colorful spreadsheets don't tell the whole story. Here are some examples:
"Miami's offense sucks! Only 9 TDs!" - *missing their QB for a majority of the season. He is now back*
"Rams only have 5 WR TDs this year?! I can't rely on Kupp or Nacua to score" - *they've been hurt*
"Denver has only allowed 4 rushing TD's this year - Henry isn't scoring this week" - *have they faced a player as lethal as Henry?*
You get the point. And if now, let me make it for you - THIS DATA IS NOT PREDICTIVE AND ONLY TELLS A SMALL (PROBABLY INSIGNIFICANT) PORTION OF THE STORY.
"Are you saying I shouldn't use this for guidance?" - I'm saying if you do, understand the limitations and look at the game within an entire context.
