Podcast: Professor Edward Egros on college football, NFL analytics

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

On this episode of The Football Analytics Show, I’m joined by Professor Edward Egros of SMU. He works at the intersection of sports analytics and journalism.

Among other topics, we discuss:

  • How his college football models have changed this year by adding EPA, or Expected Points Added, per play (2:46)
  • How Edward’s NFL model differs from college, and how NFL Next Gen Stats plays a role (8:47)
  • Alabama vs Notre Dame (19:24)
  • Clemson vs Ohio State (24:55)
  • Can Dallas win the NFC East? (32:50)
  • Edward’s bold prediction for the NFL playoffs (41:33)

Edward talked about the resource cfb-graphs.com to which he contributes.
