he was extremely good at predicting extremes:

of the top 8 teams that actually played the toughest schedule at the end of last season…

this methodology from last april predicted that all would have schedules in the hardest 8, except for one team … we reached 7/8

the same is true at the opposite end of the spectrum:

of the 10 NFL teams that had the easiest 2021 schedules at the end of the season, only 3 fell below their projected win total:

BUF, DEN, CLE

exceeding expectations on an easy schedule is quite common

Former Seahawks Pro-Bowl linebacker Bobby Wagner is signing a five-year, $50 million contract worth up to $65 million with the Los Angeles Rams, league sources say. Wagner remains in the NFC West.

Bobby Wagner would head for the #rams.

I wanted it #Commanders to sign it. I thought it would have been an addition to the London Fletcher. He could have spent the next 4 years anchoring their defense. Washington has been content to sit outside of free agency for the most part.
