Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast.

I am your host and resident panelist, as always, Ryan Schlett.

Find me on Twitter, pack underscore, datamam. So today I have spent a lot of time

today working on different things. Head is a little bit spinning but I got to get rocking here.

The main goal for today is to look at the NFL matchups. Give my thoughts on said NFL match. I think last week got messed up because I was going through it and something got jacked up. So hopefully it doesn't happen again. But that is the plan for the day. Obviously, I'll tell you what, why don't we, we'll start with the Packers. That'll just give you guys the opportunity. If you only want to hear about the

Packers and the little bit I have to say about that, and then bail, then that's fine.

If I was smart and a little more greedy, I'd probably be like, you gotta wait and see what

I'm gonna say. Maybe you go through the ad breaks and everything, but I'll be cool about it.

But I hope you hang around.

So the main areas that I want to focus on for the games, because it's where I've been spending all my time,

is on my predictions. And so I want to give you a little bit of a background here.

Several years ago,

I developed a, like a DVOA system. It's very basic math, right? It's, it's, it's,

DVOA is how much of a percentage better are you at this than a typical team, right? So, for example, the Packers so far this year have scored 29 points on average.

But the Colts defense, let's say, is 20% worse than average.

Let's just say, I think that's about right.

So what would you do?

You would take 29 times 20%, and then add it because it's worse to the 29.

You end up like 34 or something. So that is a score prediction for the Green Bay Packers.

Now you can run three other calculations. You end up with two Packers scores, two Colts scores, and you figure out what to do from there.

But it just gives you sort of a general way of doing things.
