WEB: Advanced NFL Stats

It's about that time of the NFL season where the armchair quarterbacks are starting to re-evaluate their participation in their current pools or make voodoo dolls of their now-dismal fantasy league picks. Is it too late to salvage the season? Should you just concede defeat, save some face, and flip to whatever Sunday afternoon movie from the '80's is playing on the other channels?

No! Check out Advanced NFL Stats, a non-NFL affiliated website, run by football enthusiasts, just like you!

The most useful aspect of the site is self-selected win-probability graphs which you can generate by choosing the year - all the way back to 2000 - and team. Weekly rankings and round-ups are published with humor and possibly just a twinge of bias on occasion. Regardless, they are helpful to those who are suffering in their current office pools.

The site also contains occasional articles which, while not always helpful for your gaming, can provide you with interesting insight into little known aspects of the sport (the Buccaneer's "Raheem Morris is an Optimistic Guy") or different perspectives (the run - pass balance study or irrational play calling).

Definitely bookmark this site, at least until January.
