No other way to put it- this season has been a tremendous success for yall! Big congrats on that and I hope to see it continue in years to come!
It's really interesting you bring up the timing of the peak of the model's performance. I have actually have been thinking about that for a while now. I am hypothesizing that it could be a sweet spot for attaining enough information for who each team really is from a data perspective in a given season before more variance creeps in from the grind of the season. Any potential scheme and/or coaching changes that happen in the second half of the year could have an effect too...or maybe it's all just noise lol. Obviously hard to say after just one season but I am really curious and excited to see if this plays out similarly next year.
Thank you so much and thanks for following along! I completely agree, I think it will be so interesting to see what I can't find about why the models peaked when they did. I think coaching would be a great place to look along with injuries, and maybe just how Vegas' models improve themselves throughout the year as they also collect more data. It really was a tale of two halves of the season, but still a successful one overall. In the meantime, we had a solid wild card weekend are onto the Divisional Round! Haha
Hell of a season guys 🫡
