NFL Predictions Not So Hot: Kottke
Jason Kottke has a good piece on how the various media outlets' predictions of the just-ending NFL season came out. Overall, not so hot. The best record belonged to CBS, Sporting News and USA Today. Fans (in the Yahoo! crowd) did better than Sports Illustrated, ESPN and Fox Sports. Kottke's methodology for deciding how predictors fared was pretty good. He exlpains it in the post. Interestingly, Vegas odds were no better than middle-of-the-pack.
