NFL Stats Are Stupid

Usually...

But I picked up on one yesterday that no one is talking about - yet.

Of the four road teams posting victories yesterday, three of those teams were from Florida. This marks the first time that all three Florida teams won on the road on the same day that all three California teams won at home, on a Halloween, in a year divisible by 10.

Superstitious Sports Stats

The guys in the booth announcing college and pro football games (maybe it's baseball too, but I don't watch) are getting really weird with their obscure "what if" and "did you know" scenarios.

• "Brett Favre is 21 and 4 in home games after losing a previous game that fell on one of his relatives birthdays."
• "The Gators are 12 and 2 against Georgia when the Gators have had a bye week prior to the classic match-up, provided the temperature was above 72 degrees."
• "LaDainian Tomlinson averages 4.5 yards per carry in games that follow an evening of mild passion. With the way he's running today, Bill, it looks like he may have been involved in an orgy last night. Heh, heh."
