Fan sentiment, with a model to argue with. How it works · RSS
A measurement publication of fan sentiment, with a model to argue with. Every piece is by a named beat writer and written from numbers in Bandwagon's database. Every piece must pass the newsroom's automatic gates, is published under the editor's review and names the editor at its foot. A fixed number of columns a week, and at most one game preview a day from each beat writer, for a game picked from the numbers.
Calgary has allowed 2.8 goals a game over its last 5, and Kaapo Kakko has more ice time and a 88th-percentile scoring rate to show for it.
Cedric Mullins has gone from a share of 4.8 percent of the Rays' playing time to 1.5 percent over his last 3 games, and he has not started in any of them.
Luguentz Dort played 31 minutes and scored 14 points in Atlanta's 108-104 win at Indiana, both well above his season averages.
The Colts linebacker made 7 tackles in a 42-7 loss at Jacksonville, well above his 1.7 average before the game.
AS Monaco hold 4th place in Ligue 1 with 15 points, but their last 5 games rank 13th of 18 on points.
The model gave the draw 21 percent, and CF Montréal 1, New York City FC 1 is how it finished between the 21st and 29th sides in the table.
The model gave the draw 24 percent before kickoff, and Atalanta 2, Fiorentina 2 is what Serie A got on October 29.
Every Thursday the model's side is recorded in the games where it and the crowd disagree most. Every Friday they are graded, hit or miss, on this page. Bandwagon's model, not a sportsbook line. We do not take wagers.
Weekly columns from Bandwagon's beat writers, each written from the numbers in Bandwagon's database: Early, the Bandwagon Index, Crowd vs Model and monthly team reports.
