Think you can make better game management decisions than an NFL coach?

I built CoachSim to put that to the test. Make the call in real NFL situations, then see the numbers behind the decision.

Here's a focused look at just Wins Above Bubble, the "most deserving" part of the playoff debate. Seems to do a nice job of sorting teams despite different W-L records and conference affiliations.

Not that it needed double checking, but I asked ESPN Research anyway:

In the play-by-play era (since 1978), Commanders-Giants is the first game to end in an overtime tie with the final snap of the game an offensive snap inside the opponent's 25 yard line.

Sammy Omosigho shares the real Big10 advantage. 👀

[Ron Yurko @Stat_Ron]

@RyanPaganetti @LateRoundQB I think the typically applied 'go for 2' logic by most of analytics twitter is pretty flawed, it requires strong assumptions about independence based on pretty limited sample sizes (w/o accounting for uncertainty)
