I believe those odds are an NFL player AVERAGING 207 per game and an NBA player averaging 44.4 points per game, not simply doing it in one game. That is on par with an MLB player hitting 73 HRs IMO.

I am 100% serious when I say that Peyton and Fox could die before the game and it would still be a blowout.

I don't understand how these 2 things

quote:
An NBA player putting up 44.4 points per game (2013 data, scoring title qualifiers only).

An NFL player rushing for 207.0 yards per game (2012-2013 data, min. 100 rushes).



And this

quote:
A baseball player hitting 73 home runs in a season (2013 data, qualified batters)



are the same number of standard deviations from the mean.





It's 6.2 standard deviations from the mean.

If I did my math correct that means the average NBA player scores 7.16 points per game

the average NFL RB rushed for 33.39 yards per game

and the average MLB hitter hits 11.77 home runs in a season

So basically it's as likely as someone setting those records

I don't think you understand that there's a formula for standard deviations you can't just divide these numbers by 6.2 and come up with the mean.

I'm already in on the Jags +28. I don't expect the starters to take the field after halftime and Blackmon & Shorts to go off in garbage time closing the gap.

Good call. the Broncos D isn't go great. I can easily see a backdoor cover. I pretty much expect it with Henne as QB as opposed to Gabbert.

Im under the impression that he took the mean and multiplied them by 6.2. Still incorrect, as 6.2 is not necessarily the standard deviation for each statistic as you pointed out.

Denver's given up at least 20 points in every game this season. Does that streak continue?

the Jags O is worse. That and when you have an NFL team scoring a billion points per game in under 7 seconds per drive, your defense isn't gonna be top 5.

I took Denver -27.5. Square as hell to bet, but everyone was saying the same about Jax @ Seattle and Jax @ St Louis, and both covered.
