NFL Luck Rankings Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

Last season, Action Network's predictive analytics team devised an all-new way to calculate and rank "luck" among NFL teams. What they devised became one of the most valuable betting tools in company history, creating a metric able to hit at over 60% against the spread to close the season. The engine behind these rankings, Sean Koerner and Nick Giffen, join hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter on this episode for an overview on the Luck Rankings. How did they originate? How can normal, everyday NFL gamblers find and use them? Just how predictive can they be?

Plus, we play a new round of What Are The Odds, one of the Favorites Podcast's most cherished games.
