ENTIRE NBA Season Pick'em?
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2012 12:37 am
OK, this might sounds ueber-nerdy of me, but hear me out. I have been thinking for a while now, about preseason predictions and projecting teams' W-L records. One of my biggest pet-peeves is when radio hosts, columnists and other sports media have mathematically improbable or downright impossible outcomes. For example, when everyone is a 50-win team, something's wrong.
For every team that wins, someone else loses. Therefore, the most thorough way to accurately predict W-L records is to look at the entire NBA schedule, and pick'em. I know, we're talking about ALOT (1230 games!) to pick, so I figured a form or website would be our best chance. I just haven't found such a tool, yet.
BTW, I'm not interested in this for gambling purposes, or anything other than philosophical debate. If anyone has an idea of where to find or how to build a way of tabulating and aggregating this data, please let me know. If I find/make something useful, I'd love to see others' predictions, as well.
P.S. Is it basketball season yet? :p
