2016-17 NFL Best Bets 100-69 (59.2%) – 66-26 (71.7%) on NFL Sides
The new play-by-play model was introduced in 2016 with very good results and I’m looking forward to another profitable season of NFL Best Bets using advanced metrics. I don’t expect the NFL model to win 72% of the side Best Bets, as last season’s incredible 66-26 Best Bet record on sides was influenced by winning a large majority of close games (31-12 on games decided by 7 points or less) rather than being around 50% in those games. However, that makes up for college football, where I had a winning season despite losing 66% of the close decisions in that sport. The NFL Best Bets decided by more than 7 were a very good 35-14, which is an indication of how well the new model performed. Last year’s NFL sides Best Bets should have been around 63% winners, which is still incredibly good, but not as good as the actual 72% win percentage.
The NFL totals, on the other hand, should have been better, as there were 3 Best Bet totals that lost due to overtime (zero OT wins) and all Best Bet totals decided by 7 points or fewer were just 13-20. Overall, the 2016 NFL Best Bets graded out at 57.4% rather than the 59.2% that they actually were, so we had some positive variance on our side – although not enough to make up for the negative variance in College Football.
2016 NFL Best Bets were 100-69 (59.2%) for the season (66-26 on sides and 34-43 on totals).
2016 NFL Strong Opinions were 64-52-4 (55.2%) for the season (27-30-3 sides, 36-22-1 totals, 1-0 Super Bowl prop).
Note: All NFL Best Bets were rated the same in 2016.
