Week 1 Predictions with a Disclaimer

As these predictions are all based on 2006 numbers, if these predictions fail, I will disavow any knowledge of them and pretend they never existed. If they are correct, I will be all like "Yo, man! I called that!"

The first column of numbers is the estimated probability that the home team will win according to the logistic regression model. The second column is the expected margin of victory/defeat for the home team (i.e. Home team points - away team points) according to the linear regression model. Both models use unadjusted VOLA data for rushing, passing, sack rates, third down conversion rates, and fumble and interception rates.
