I'll give them the nod. they are certainly the best dvoa team of the dvoa era. i'd like to see them play the early 90's cowboys or niners. Title: Re: Game of the Millenium-Patriots vs. Colts (HYPE!

DVOA DVOA is the acronym for Defense-adjusted Value Over Average. The original Football Outsiders statistic, it was created by Aaron Schatz, and has since seen several updates. The statistic measures the success of a given play, then compares it to the league-average level of success for that play given the situation at the time (score, time remaining, down and distance to go, location on the field, caliber of opponent, and so on). The system is applied to every play of the season, to provide DVOA rankings both for individual players and teams as a whole. In all cases, a DVOA rating of 0% is equivalent to league-average performance. Positive DVOA numbers represent above-average performance by the offense and below-average performance by the defense, while negative numbers represent the opposite. ;) I learn something every day from you Dr. Title: Re: Game of the Millenium-Patriots vs. Colts (HYPE! HYPE!) Post by: Walfredo on October 31, 2007, 02:19:48 PM I like the Colts at home since they have a running game that may be able to keep the pats passing game off the field some. And they have a younger/faster defense IMO. Plus the Pats play in the worst division evar!
Not sure if I'm going that way on the pickem pool though. 8) Title: Re: Game of the Millenium-Patriots vs. Colts (HYPE! HYPE!)

Post by: campy on October 31, 2007, 04:17:31 PM I'm going with the Pat's, though I don't really care one way or the other...I'll probably care later in the year when they are playing for the AFC championship.

Besides that, I prefer Dungy over Billichik, and Manning over Brady.
