Coach Talk

bill's Wondrous Team
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a sound display by Deshaun Watson, we doubled up Euler's Method 4 at the quarterback position this past week (30.08 points to 14.92). Watson went 28-for-50 for 292 yards, one TD, and two INTs in a 38-24 loss to the Broncos.
Euler's Method 4
Listen up, Euler's Method 4! Listen, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that occasionally free points just seem to randomly appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright... locating an additional 13 points for you in this matchup probably would have taken some extreme wizardry.
