Luck points through week 3

by Bruce D.

Team luck points = (good luck points)-(bad luck points), so positive numbers are the luckiest teams. Please note that this is change from previous posts where negative numbers were used for the luckiest teams.

Please note: In a predictive situation, past "good luck" can be bad for a team in the future, and past "bad luck" can be good(luck is NOT repeatable).

For a more in-depth explanation of what "luck" points are, go to a previous post here.

Luck is tracked to help analyze a team's true ability and to predict results of upcoming games where some may not know what portion of a team's record and points performance was due to just luck.

Points for(+) the lucky team, are the same amount of points against(-) the unlucky team.

Luck points are valued as follows:

punts blocked=3
interceptions=2.5
fumbles lost=2.5
field goal miss/block=2.5
punt returns for a TD=4.5
ko returns for a TD=4.5

Thanks

You count punt return and kickoff return touchdowns, but not fumble and interception return touchdowns?

I think Jets fans would consider last night's three turnover touchdowns to be unluckier than just 7.5 points.

Hey James,

Very valid point.

I also have "luck" based on my version of EPA(which should show an actual value based on situation and outcome). If you'd like to see that as well, let me know.
