Episode notes
Playoff Outcomes Are Driven By Thin Margins
- Playoff margins are razor-thin and small events swing results, so short-term variance will often mask good long-run analytics.
- Stuckey stresses that even great models can lose in the short run because missed kicks and single plays decide games.
Back Rams Offense Vs. Bad Bears Run D
- Bet the Rams team total over 26.5 against the Bears because Los Angeles can run and attack a weak run defense.
- Prioritize Blake Corum's explosive-run props since the Bears allow frequent long non-QB runs and Corum has a high explosive-run rate.
Fade Marks vs. Patriots Run Front
- Take Dameon Pierce (Woody Marks) under 58.5 rushing yards versus the Patriots due to New England's elite run defense with Milton Williams.
- Expect reduced Houston rushing efficiency, potential split carries, and neutral/negative game script that limits Marks' upside.
