I have excel spreadsheets with calcs on every game.


At first I had wildly complex Excel sheets and macros, but realized that I am one person, and no way will I come up with something that is better than what oddsmakers can put out. The amount of advantage I gain using a complex excel macro will not be much more advantageous than keeping it simple. Law of diminishing returns

So I just decided to keep it simple, only have a few variables in there.

Mine is simple, too. I have data on one page and weekly plays on another.

It used to be a huge bear, but I compressed everything into simpler layouts and calcs.

excel spreadsheets and quant analysis doesn't mean much to me.

Just use your football knowledge and keep up w/ what's going on and you'll have a good idea what to play. Spreadsheets can't account for game day type variables.
