That's just called Thursday Night MACtion

Why draft him in the 4th when you can get him in the 6th or 7th.

No real difference between that and a normal Thursday night game. Plus the teams playing on Christmas get a week and a half off before the last Sunday. Seems like it might be more of an advantage than a disadvantage.

I will take this journey with you to the end

I don't but I can work on something this weekend. I've thought about doing it for a while. Shouldn't be too hard.

Louisville seems to be the better team by every metric but for whatever my model and ESPN give Miami the nudge. The only thing I could think of is home field advantage but Miami can barely fill their stadium.

Miami 29, Louisville 20. Hopefully for your sake I'm wrong!

Every pass looks like it takes so much effort just to get it over the lineman.

Lol. I'm glad you pointed that out. I'll have to adjust the model to account for those weird score outputs.

Not specifically but it does take into account efficiency in the pass and run game, so if a player is injured and that side of the ball is affected, it gets reflected on that season.
