Super Bowl Analysis: the QBs

According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), they rated Burrow the best QB in the NFL this season. The biggest gaps between Burrow & Stafford concerned their response to pressure, as Stafford committed "turnover worthy plays" at almost double the rate of Burrow. For individual props, PFF likes the following:
Burrow over 24 1/2 completions, 12 1/2 rushing/receiving yards, over 11 1/2 rushing yards & under 1/2 interceptions, under 1 1/2 TDs, under 36 1/2 attempts, and under 4 1/2 carries. Similarly, with Stafford, PFF forecasts under 1/2 INT, under 1 1/2 TDs, and accepts the rest. According to the game logs at pro football reference, the typical stat line for each in their median performance this season would look very similar, with the big play edge to Stafford netting him a bit more. Their stat lines would look like the prop odds: 24 for 35 for 265 yards with net yards per attempt at 7.7 and a QB passer rating over 100. Defensively, Rams defensive line ranks much better than the Bengals, but the rest of the depth chart gets very comparable looks. Top-10 QBs against the Bengals during the regular season easily averaged a 100+ QB rating, until the playoffs, where even Mahomes ended up with a sub-90 passer rating. Rams defense equally stepped up in the playoffs, but also gave up a 95+ passer ratings 5 out of 7 games. Against top-10 passer rated defenses, Stafford averaged less than a 95+ passer rating, while Burrow did. The Bengals more pedestrian pass defense and Burrow's better-than-average performance against elite pass defenses and pressure suggest both QBs should have typically good games in the Big Game.

Betting Psychology and Risk Management

This post is partially motivated by the incoming surge in official picks we are going to have as well as the dismay here some have experienced with the downturn we've had over the past few weeks. Risk-based moneymaking is not an easy pursuit and the vast majority of people who try their hand at it fail. It is important that you arm yourselves with as may tools as possible so that you will be in the profitable minority. Most people find it difficult enough to look at their investment portfolios during a relatively mild downturn, and that's with professional hedge fund managers doing insulating them from the very real challenges of risking our money and making a profit from it. Anyone who is active here is choosing to take that risk into their own hands. There are big rewards for this but also very big risks. This post is about preventing you from being taken out by those risk.
