Early on the in the season it's possible for teams who win while playing sufficiently badly to go down in projection, since the weakness the bad play shows lasts for the whole season but the two points remain just two points, that throws folks sometimes.
Projections are a little more sanguine this season, which means that favourites who win games will get smaller bumps than they used do (and dogs larger bumps, matchingly). Norris injury isn't fully baked in yet I don't think but should be by tomorrow.
The simplest rainbow colourscheme gives a lot of orange, because of how most games are listed at seven eastern. I don't love that much orange, truly, but maybe it's a little better anyway?
The league is very fond of "events" like getting all the teams to play at once, but they're also v. devoted to playing games at 7 local time, and those two things intersect funny.
You can't believe how much I'm being chained to the wall by trying to make the xG model sit up and play nicely in-season right now. I am very close to walking into the woods and surrendering myself to baba yaga. Maybe she will let me play final fantasy tactics.
