Free #footballanalytics advice: + NFL: you probably shouldn't draft a RB in the 1st round + NCAA: you probably shouldn't spend that much money on two RBs (eg @PennStateFball)

HC Tomlin on being shocked at the Joe Flacco trade: "Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter than me, or us, because it doesn’t make sense to me to trade a QB you think enough of to make your opening day starter to a division opponent that’s hurting in that area."

It's happening
I think @SumerSports' SumerBrain will save you time and get you access to better data: *Complex data pulls that would require multiple filters *Advanced charting data for situation specific matchups *Box score stats Just type it in In Beta for free: https://t.co/uAmzu1MECt

We’ve charted the game down to the inch. Every player. Every snap. Every data point. SūmerBrain turns it into answers in seconds. It’s live. It’s free. And we want you to break it. 🧠 https://t.co/VSfa9ZT4aU

IT’S HERE!!! And it’s a gamechanger. SumerBrain’s ability to answer layered questions that merge different filters on top of one another opens the doors to SO MUCH MORE information than we had access to before. 1/2

3 overtime games, 3 coin toss winners choosing to kick and they are now 0-2-1... TAKE THE BALL https://t.co/8cQY9zCZVF (obviously the right call to go for it there though)
nbcnews.com
There's no clear consensus on what the right call is in pro football's new extra-time rule.
Two #NFL games in overtime this year, and both times the team that won the toss chose to defer... now w/ a record at 0-1-1 (against the #Cowboys) TAKE THE BALL

Here we go again... what will the coin toss winner select? #ThursdayNightFootball
I discussed this recently in an NBC article as well... https://t.co/8cQY9zCZVF (you should probably receive and keep the sudden death advantage if the game is tied after two possessions) #SundayNightFootball #NFL
