SHOULD DRAKE MAYE START? CEEDEE LAMB EXTENSION

Author: Kevin Cole August 27, 2024 Duration: 1:10:23

Josh Hermsmeyer joins the pod for the weekly livestream to talk:

* If Drake Maye should start, and generally what we learn from the preseason

* How the Cowboys played the last few drafts so poorly at WR and lost all leverage with CeeDee Lamb

* A bet on the kick-return rate for the 2024: Herms takes under 40%, Kevin takes the over

* Strong analysis from the NFL’s Michael Lopez and Tom Bliss on the minimal benefit of bye weeks during the regular season

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.
