Back on September 16 I announced an exciting joint venture that would take place between The Grandstander and Frissora Gaming enterprises (FGE), headed by long time pal John Frissora.
Now, after the conclusion of Week 6 of the NFL season, I announce the first Grandstander Power Rankings (GPR) of 2019:
- Patriots
- Saints
- 49'ers
- Seahawks
Teams Knocking at the door - Chiefs, Packers, Vikings.
I expect that the GPR will be somewhat fluid over the next several weeks.
Now, I will give you John's FGE Power Rankings as he sent them on to me, including his cutting edge and always amusing commentary:
Week #6 Power Rankings
As many of you know, FGE has mastered the analytics behind horse race handicapping. There are 27 metrics that determine the winner of a horse race. FGE has also developed analytics regarding the outcome of basketball games (14 measures) and Football games (8 measures). The differing number of metrics needed to determine each of these three sports, as you note, declines as the number of participants increase. Meaning, the variability of trying to predict how one horse will perform is considerably higher than 11 men working together on the football field. Hence the 27 vs 8 measures.
FGE has yet to find the "secret sauce" needed for hockey and baseball analytics. Funny, that a sport so rich in the history of statistics (Baseball) apparently produces data that cannot consistently determine the winner of a given game. But, FGE will keep trying and possibly put this off until the lights are turned off at F&A, the fastest growing health care consulting firm on God's green earth, for the last time.
But that's enough introduction. Let's get to the NFL - CFP Rankings based on the Malcom Baldridge Award winning Analytics of FGE:
4. Kansas City Chiefs - Have dropped two straight, but still hold onto the final spot. Too much talent in all three aspects of the game to not be here in the long run.
3. Seattle Seahawks - Only surprise team in the Top 4 so far. One loss this year as their ability to close out a game is exceptional.
2. New England Patriots - Pope Prays for Peace in the Middle East, Pirates Sign 32 Year Old Journeyman, Teamster Boss Faces Renewed Federal Charges, Patriots Favored to Win the AFC. Headlines of....Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
1. New Orleans - I thought that a team that lost their franchise starting QB was done for the year?? Oh wait, this team isn't coached by Mike Tomlin. No Brees...No Problem. Winning by scores of 12-10 and 13-6 in two of the past three weeks.
Team waiting to break into the Top 4 ....... Houston Texans
