(same intro everyday) Using the rosters as they are as of mid-June (version 2.0), obviously everyone is healthy in this simulation, and we run our data to the new NFL schedule to see 'what happens' (in our world) and taking the win-loss record projections right through the playoffs for an eventual title winner projection.
This will be a series -- three weeks of regular season results at a time released daily with some light commentary, up to the playoffs where we will publish a round at a time playoff results until a Super Bowl winner is declared.
In reality, when the first key injury happens to any team -- throw all these projections in the trash. But we are using this as a guide looking for over/under win total bets, especially 'unders' -- if a team's projected win total isn't close to their Vegas O/U line fully healthy…then there might be handicapping opportunity there.
Weeks 7-9 Notes...
-- Best record, so far, in Faux 2.0: The Bears and the Rams are both (7-2).
The Bears have been tracking at the top all series to-date, but now the Rams have joined them.
The top AFC record goes to the team who has been a the top all Faux season son far...Houston (6-2).
-- The worst record through Week 9 in Faux 2.0: Cleveland (1-8).
-- The most positive surprise stories so far in Faux 2.0: The Saints (5-3) have jumped into first place in the NFC South.
The (4-5) Raiders are 1.5 games out of first place and still stayi9ng ahead of KC (3-5).
-- The most surprising positive disappointment stories so far in Faux 2.0: The Chiefs in last place is up there, but also disappointing are the Bills at (4-4) under Joe Brady and the Colts floundering under .500 (4-5) with a returning, but not 100% Dan Jones.
