About The Power Rank

Do you want to win at sports betting? With legalization in the United States, you stare at that new app on your smart phone and wonder about the possibilities.

My name is Ed Feng, founder of The Power Rank. I started this site based on the idea that predictive analytics is a crucial component to sports betting.

In a world of shameless touts and sudden experts, I deliver predictions and content based on my PhD in chemical engineering from Stanford.

As an example, my member NFL predictions have gone 52.8% against the spread from 2019 through 2021. This is a record of 307-274 with 12 pushes in games in which the prediction differs from the market by more than a point.

To supplement the predictive analytics, I host The Football Analytics Show podcast and write a free sports betting newsletter that strives for three attributes:

  • Valuable
  • Concise
  • Entertaining

This is unsolicited feedback on the newsletter.

This newsletter is one of my must read things that I actively look forward to reading as soon as I see it. It’s just the right length with the right amount of information. A timeless classic.

My story

In the beginning, I was just a curious sports fan like yourself. I enjoyed books like Moneyball and Basketball on Paper but never put the ideas to use for betting.

That changed in 2008. After reading an academic paper on Google’s technology, I got inspired to apply my Stanford Ph.D. to rankings sports teams. My friends liked the resulting NFL rankings and encouraged me to do more.

In 2012, SB Nation made a video on my March Madness analytics. Later that year, my story predicting Alabama’s win over Notre Dame in the college football title game appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Over the next decade, my content and predictions have appeared at a variety of leading media outlets.

Smarter sports betting in less than 5 minutes

Valuable. Concise. Entertaining.

In my free sports betting email newsletter, I write about the reasons that I make certain NFL and college football bets. In addition, 7-Nugget Saturday is a curated list of sports betting tips and news.

The newsletter focuses on NFL and college football betting, and I also specialize in March Madness bracket advice.

Not a bracketologist but want to beat the March Madness guy in your office pool? Look no further fella, ya found it: https://t.co/VZYjysn8tE. Won my first bracket pool 2 years ago after reading this by @thepowerrank.

This is not the right service for everyone. Some folks believe everything they hear on ESPN, as clueless to the process of sports betting as RJ Bell to ethical record keeping. This is not the newsletter for them.

However, you believe that predictive analytics is a crucial component of football betting. You’re not quite ready to become a member of The Power Rank but want to get a taste of the premium content.
