Well, this would have bothered me all day if I didn’t do it, so I adjusted for SOS (my numbers are basically the same as Arif’s), and the correlation to the Vegas spread drops to 0.86. Some interesting things happened:

Games closest to the Vegas spread:
CLE @ CIN, Bengals -10.6 GS, -10.5 Vegas
GNB @ CAR, Panthers +1.5 GS, +2.5 Vegas
STL @ MIN, Vikings -2.1 GS, -2.5 Vegas

Games that are the most different from the Vegas spread:
ATL @ SFO, 49ers +0.4 GS, +6.5 Vegas
PHI @ DAL, Cowboys -3.4 GS, +2.5 Vegas
DEN @ IND, Colts +7.9 GS, +3.5 Vegas

Due to the Panthers’ somewhat easy schedule, the GS spread has moved to be more in line with the Vegas spread.

The game that really stands out is the ATL/SFO game…SFO has faced the second hardest GS schedule so far (just behind the Bears) – 7 of the 8 teams they have faced have Adj GS in the upper half of the league, 4 teams are in the top 10! Atlanta might be their most “GS friendly” opponent yet…

Going to keep track of how the Game Scripts do this week…if it’s alright with you Chase, can I post the results on the “main” Game Scripts page?
