I've started seeing this more and more, NFL sports journalists talking about models and data to predict seasons. It's just nonsense quite frankly and another way to get internet hits. Science 101 is making sure you have enough of a reliable sample size to ensure expected levels of risk/uncertainty/variables dont impact trends and lead you down false paths. A 17 game season is not enough of a sample size.
