One week of games are in the book and I wanted to take a quick look at this week’s action to see what our old friend #math might be able to tell us. As I have discussed in some of my previous pieces, I have developed a series of mathematical tools over the years that I use analyze sports data. One of those tools is a simple algorithm that does a pretty good job of projecting point spreads, from which win probabilities can be estimated. It is sort of like the garage-band version of ESPN’s FPI. Throughout the season, I plan to use the tools at my disposal to provide some advice (that you would be wise to ignore) as it relates to the Vegas point spreads for MSU and around the country.
