On this episode of The Football Analytics Show, I’m joined by Rufus Peabody, professional sports bettor. He is also half of Massey-Peabody Analytics and the Bet the Process podcast.
Among other topics, we discuss:
- How the Massey-Peabody model works (1:52)
- The randomness of turnovers, both in college football and the NFL (3:06 to 7:02) To check out the Nebraska study, click here.
- How Rufus deals with fast moving teams like Wisconsin and Michigan (8:30)
- Whether Rufus is betting Miami in the NFL (12:55)
- How to balance a model with subjective adjustments, with USC as an example (15:16)
- How to construct a player based model for football (19:08)
Rufus is a pioneer in data driven predictions for football, and I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation.
