People disregard the mathematical model, as if it is supposedly full proof. Of course it isn't full proof, but it's surely more accurate than some wild guess which is what most analysists and fans resort to. I believe I read it has 66.17% accuracy or something, which is really really good actually for this sort of application.
All it really means is that the Bengals and Cardinals have the best overall teams in the NFL. Does it mean they will make the super bowl? No. What it does do is make it even more regretful that Dalton is hurt. It's clear that this team is stacked and all convential knowledge points to them going far in the postseason. Unfortunatly, emotions and past bias take place of educated analysis, so this is seen as "incorrect" or "false".
I received my degree in applied mathematics about 3 weeks ago, and reading this article gave me some more confidence about tomorrow (nerdy confidence lol). ALSO, cortana also predicted that the Bengals win this weeks matchup, another mathematical program that predicts outcomes of games. Cortana predicted every winner of the World Cup correctly and was 8-3 in last seasons NFL playoffs.. Cortana picked the Bengals over the Steelers, and because of my background, I tend to stick with the computers. I wouldn't put it past the Bengals to defy logic and ruin computational mathematics though...
