I don't buy into all of their metrics but it's an interesting and balanced take.

IMO Football Outsiders takes the fun out of football... "blinded me with science".. not everything has a metric.

The reason I like Football Outsiders is because I believe Ernie and Bill probably have a metric for everything as well. They figure out mathematically the odds and use them to their favor. So knowing some of the math you can figure out how they will game plan.
