Welcome to the 2014 Crunching The Numbers Year-End Review! Okay, so it's probably a little late for "year-end," but like Congress passing the budget, late is better than never. For those of you who may be new to the site, "Crunching The Numbers" is a series I do during the regular season where I try to use football metrics to predict which teams will succeed and which teams will fail (don't tell Patrick!).
In an effort to improve the formula, each year I conduct a simple linear regression analysis on my statistics to determine how well they relate to winning in the NFL.
