Statistically Speaking – 2016 BAT-tleship

Statistically Speaking

Keeping up with the weekly posts with a game every Thursday proved disastrous for your Commish in 2015…but I’ve tried to consolidate some record book and special stats behind the scenes to speed things up this season….We will see how it goes…for now we continue the tradition of BAT-tleship…grading pre-season prediction posts…and as always we start with the team who has now been to 6 straight Fantasy Bowls…Bay Area Thrashers…the original post can be found HERE…but since MyFantasyLeague will eventually stop archiving it…it is preserved for posterity HERE as well…As in our past posts…each prediction will be examined and then graded as either:

HitA *HIT*
or

Statistically Speaking – With All Dew Respect

Statistically Speaking

Keeping things running along here as the 2014 TBFL Draft is now less than a month away…(August 31 for anyone who may have forgotten that and allowed their wife to schedule a trip to Disney World that day)…While not nearly as detailed a post as our defending champion, there were 2 other takers last season to throw out some predictions of their own…The original posts can be found HERE…but since the MyFantasyLeague Message Board no longer hosts these things indefinitely…they were also preserved HERE…Following the style of our previous BAT-tleship posts…each prediction will be graded…but since my predictions were based on Mountain Dew wagers… (more…)
