A Simpler Football Simulation

<p>The book takes the concept of computer-based simulations for predicting American football games—like the Madden video games for example—and attempts to devise a simpler method. With just a word processor some spreadsheets a fundamental understanding of percentages and probabilities and a few hours of work anyone can achieve results that are remarkably similar to those of the more sophisticated computer models. Chapters 1 to 5 outline the method and its rationale. Chapters 6 to 9 detail an actual simulated contest play-by-play. Chapters 10 to 11 and the appendices utilize the method described to determine which professional football team of the past fifty years was truly the best.</p>
