The approach your using and others is equivalent to these are brand new teams ?
There not and since sample size is always an issue with football why not attempt to increase the sample?

One point for consideration.
fact: There is a significant correlation between teams season to season ~.4
fact: Even Vegas bookmakers admit they rarely move the line when players are injured
(There are exceptions)
fact: A significant portion of a team returns from year to year
Suggestion:
Why not weigh last years stats in this years rankings?
No one I have researched does this >
However, my feeling is Vegas does and explains some of the discrepancies and their success?
(ex. No -3 @ tb this yr. This yr stats clearly favor TB by +3)
It is so simple to me . Just curious on anyone’s thoughts why its not done?

thanks Dan
