Check this out. Been toying around with my Yardage Formula and found a stricter version of it to be pretty awesome. It's so much easier to do this kind of research with my Excel Program once it is written.
The old version put out anywhere from 60-85 plays and hit around 60% over 4 years.
But it was inconsistent going 48-19 ATS in 2001, 38-23 ATS in 2002, and then slightly above 50% the last 2 seasons.
By demanding a stricter criteria it churned out only a handful of plays but really skimmed the cream of the crop off the top.
The neat thing is that I do not have to sub-divide various categories to get the strong results, which says a lot more about the criteria itself. I'm still working on 2003, but here's last year's Game of Year Status Picks...
