Outlook for Eliminated Playoff Teams w/ Eric Eager, Sumer Sports

Author: Kevin Cole January 17, 2023 Duration: 1:01:25

Eric Eager of Sumer Sports joins me to discuss how the six playoff losers should approach the offseason:

* Should the Vikings look at the fundamentals and choose mini-rebuild?

* Are the Bucs done in their current form?

* Why the Seahawks have to look at rookie quarterbacks drafting in the top-5

* Have the Chargers missed the rookie-contract window for Justin Herbert?

* Lamar Jackson done in Baltimore?

* The Dolphins need to go all-in on 2023

In a landscape crowded with hot takes and instant reactions, Unexpected Points offers a different kind of football conversation. Hosted by data scientist Kevin Cole, this podcast digs beneath the surface of the NFL's weekly narratives and long-term trends. The analysis here isn't about confirming what we think we know; it's about questioning those very assumptions with a rigorous, evidence-based approach. You'll hear discussions that blend the granular details of fantasy football decisions with the broader strategic forces shaping the league. Cole breaks down complex statistical concepts into accessible insights, focusing on why certain patterns emerge and what they genuinely mean for teams, players, and the future of the game. It's for anyone who wants to move beyond the conventional wisdom and understand the deeper mechanics at play. Tune in for a thoughtful, analytical perspective that consistently finds the compelling story hidden within the numbers. This is a sports podcast built on curiosity and a healthy skepticism for the easy answer, making each episode a journey into the less-charted territory of professional football.
