Nfl Strategy Game

Data Mining for the NFL Picks

As presented by John Schneider in www.FirstLightSports.com

Picking NFL football games should be easy, right?  All you have to do is pick the winning team (verses the spread) and put your hard earned money on it.  After the fact it is pretty easy to say "I knew the Packers were going to win by more than 3 points… who didn't know that?!?!?  Yet Vegas still has money to build more hotels.  The truth is that consistently picking correct bets on NFL game is an extremely difficult thing to do.  People have been trying to master this for years, and will continue to do so. 

If only there was a computer program that could take in the thousands of bits of variable information and spit out the correct side of the wager?  Many people have tried to come up with the solution, but up until now no one has been successful.  A product called FBMiner (FBMiner.com) created by Seagull Data Mining has it figured out.  During the 2010 football season they had a documented 74% success rate with their 10 star games (20 wins with 7 loses). 

FBMiner predicts the outcomes of NFL games using their own proprietary statistical modeling techniques.  Seagull Data Mining takes advanced data mining technologies that have been used by large corporations, banks, and stock brokerages, and unleash it on football forecasting.   They run a proprietary computer program called a genetic neural network, which generates a computer model to predict the results of the upcoming NFL games.  

The website for FBMiner, www.FBMiner.com, has all the details on how the statistical modeling program works and how it can be applied to your NFL wager strategy.   On the website you will clearly see their historical performance (both the good and the bad) so you know exactly what you are getting with their service.   What a fresh approach compared to the other picking sites that don't give you their full complete record for the year (anyone who says they are near perfect would not be selling picks – they would be living the high life off of their winnings).

FBMiner is a tool that greatly helps with the process of predicting the unpredictable.  You can look through these results and decide for yourself just how valuable a tool FBMiner will be for you in beating the NFL spreads.

Strategy (Game Theory) $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In game theory, a players strategy in a game is a complete plan of action for whatever situation might arise; this fully determines the players behaviour. A players strategy will determine the action the player will take at any stage of the game, for every possible history of play up to that stage. A strategy profile (sometimes called a strategy combination) is a set of strategies for each player which fully specifies all actions in a game. A strategy profile must include one and only one strategy for every player. The strategy concept is sometimes (wrongly) confused with that of a move. A move is an action taken by a player at some point during the play of a game (e.g., in chess, moving whites Bishop a2 to b3). A strategy on the other hand is a complete algorithm for playing the game, telling a player what to do for every possible situation throughout the game.

NFL Americas Game: Green Bay Packers DVD $29.99 In nine seasons as head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi won five NFL championships. The last two came in 1966 and '67-the years of the first two Super Bowls. Nearly 30 years later, Mike Holmgren's Packers brought the Lombardi Trophy home again, and Green Bay was "Titletown" once more. In January, 1967, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Green Bay faced the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League in what was then called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, later renamed Super Bowl I. The '66 Packers were loaded with seasoned veterans like Bart Starr, Jerry Kramer, and Ray Nitschke. But Green Bay's victory in Super Bowl I owed much to an unlikely hero-a 34-year-old receiver named Max McGee, who had caught only four passes all season and had stayed out all night before the game. Lombardi's strategy was simple and predictable: here's the power sweep and the fly pattern-now try and stop us. It worked because Lombardi was relentless in his pursuit of perfection. The Packers' epic run through the '67 post-season was the final proof of their-and Lombardi's-greatness. A victory over Dallas in the legendary "Ice Bowl" secured a third-straight NFL title. Then, in Lombardi's final game with the Packers, they crushed Oakland in Super Bowl II. In the 1990s, head coach Mike Holmgren developed quarterback Brett Favre into an NFL MVP who could execute his west-coast offense in spectacular fashion. Holmgren's work paid off in 1996, when Favre's offense tied a franchise record for wins and led the league in scoring on the way to the Super Bowl. All-Pro defensive end Reggie White spearheaded a defense that gave up the fewest points in the NFL that year. But it was return man Desmond Howard who made the greatest impact against New England in Super Bowl XXXI.

NFL Americas Game Green Bay Packers Super Bowl I $11.69 Rated: NASynopsis: Vincent Thomas Lombardi knew how to make a good first impression. One hour into Lombardi's first mini-camp as head coach of the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Bart Starr took a break, ran to the nearest pay phone in the team office, and called his wife. "Honey, we're going to begin to win," Starr said excitedly. That was in 1959. Eight seasons later, Lombardi had transformed the Packers into four-time NFL champions.Still, in January of 1967, there was one more team to play after the NFL title was won. In front of 61,946 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Green Bay faced the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League in what was called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, later renamed Super BowlI. There, Lombardi stayed with what had worked throughout his career: Here's the power sweep. Here's the fly pattern. Now try and stop us. The Packer strategy, not surprisingly, worked spectacularly. But what was most unexpected was the player who best executed that game plan. A 34-year-old receiver named Max McGee would become one of the most unlikely heroes ever in Green Bay lore.
