Analytics

We’ve all experienced game situations where we debated our team going for it on 3rd down or settling for a FG.

There is a company in the US that provides charts for NFL & US college teams in regards to this based on position on the field, time remaining, and score differential.

Probably a little too costly for CFL teams to develop their own version.

I would imagine that CFL coaches probably reference this data anyways and apply it to the CFL game.

Statistical probability will certainly help with decision-making, but ultimately the players still need to execute.

Thanks for the charts. Very interesting.

It’s all hog wash. Every coach bases his decisions on how his team is playing and how the other team is playing at least as much as the game situation.

I would agree. Actually, given sufficient time or ability to input data it’s not that far fetched for someone to do it for the CFL. Not as lucrative, but definitely doable.
