Here's the thing. All the anti-analytics/math people bring it up when it fails, but don't talk about it when it succeeds like the Titans/Dolphins game earlier this year. The math behind it absolutely makes sense.

They rely on any and all anecdotal evidence to support their claims while ignoring the fact if they compile all anecdotal evidence, it leans opposite of their narrative. If you trust the math, you’ll be right more times than not. Again, this is beyond just football.

Or Packers-Saints. The Packers were in the playoffs over the Saints because they did it correctly and thus won by 1 point.

I know you know regular season and playoff games are different…

It’s easy to gamble on two point conversions and such when you’re already eliminated or there’s 12 more games to go. It’s not so easy when that’s your season and your arse on the line.
