A lot of sports fans aren't fond of sabermetrics when it comes to evaluating and analyzing players and teams. However, these new age statistics often offer keen insights into how something such as an NFL season will play out.
A few years ago, I used the sports statistic--synchronicity (you may also know it as fate, karma, deja vu, etc.)--to explain why I thought the 2011 season would unfold just like the 2005 campaign, and the Steelers would capture their seventh Super Bowl title. But my analysis was hogwash, as I didn't even know about sabermetrics back then and was just going on frivolous data.
