If you’ve played NFL Best Ball you’ll know there’s a school of thought that says “Week 17 is all that matters.” What this means is that big tournaments have top-heavy payout structures – you’re aiming for 1st place, and while we hope to get a lot of rosters through to the final round, what matters is actually winning once we’re in it. We also know that we stack in order to maximize correlation. With those two factors in mind, it makes a lot of sense to look at each teams’ schedule late in the season. Baseball scheduling is uneven: most teams play 6 games per week, but sometimes teams play 7. Underdog uses a 2-week playoff format to try and minimize some of this effect, but we can still find teams that are in better (or worse) spots for that final period.
There’s a new game in town…
And the edges are real.
