So for anyone not aware of what I’m doing this offseason - which you should because its consumed the majority of my recent posts - is I’m flipping a quarter and comparing it to Yahoo!’s NFL expert Chris Carter’s playoff picks. I chose Chris not to pick on him personally, but its his picks [...]

A few days ago, I proved that my North Dakota quarter was better at predicting the Wild Card round than Yahoo! Sports expert Chris Carter. That was done post-games, so who knows, maybe it was tainted. To test, this week I’m flipping the coin in advance to see if my quarter can, once [...]

You know, with the Chargers heading to certain victory against the Titans, I decided to look back and see how Yahoo!’s expert Chris Carter did at predicting the games. Well, here’s how he did: he was .500 on the weekend. Now, since I got an ‘A’ in my stats and probability class, I [...]

[Each week during the football season I will be breaking down the WSU Cougar’s weekend match up and then predicting the outcome; let’s see if I can get one right!]

You know, my preseason MLB predictions are so far off - mainly because I B.S.’d them for the most part - that I decided a newer, better prediction needed to be made. So I visited Baseball Prospectus (BP), which is essentially the holy land for baseball geeks. BP has a system set up [...]

I know what you are going to say come this October: “Geeze eric, how did you so accurately predict the 2007 MLB season?”
Well, I’m glad you asked. It turns out that clubbing seals creates a euphoric state in which one can see the future.
AL MVP - Travis Hafner CLE
NL MVP - Alfonso Soriano CHN

My bracket is doomed. I only have two teams left in my final four, and they play each other: OSU and Georgetown. My only hope to salvage a decent finish is a Georgetown win and championship. Only three teams in the pool took G-Town, so by default if they win I should [...]

Would I have believed I would have gone 14 of 16 on the first day of March Madness. And of course the team that really killed me: Duke. They have killed me each and every time I have picked them this year. Apparently the kryptonite to Duke’s program is my support, which [...]
