CBS "Guru" (1 Viewer)

CBS's guru predicts more points from Brown this week than Addai. I thought Addai was still the starter and getting the majority of carries. Is CBS just stupid or do they know something I don't?

At this point in the week they are prolly guessing just like everyone else. Hell I didn't know CBS had experts.

The Guru can't know something that you don't know because The Guru knows nothing. I don't even consider his projections.

Its all guesswork, however, I'd put my money on Brown. He seems to be the designated closer in the second half and the Colts are likely to be up big by then.

Just a matter of who they assign a touchdown to. If you look, they predict similar yardage with Brown winning the coinflip and getting a TD.

Seems a good bet that both backs are close to 100 yds in the game, and they will score at least one TD between them (with Addai being a modestly better bet to be the one). My take home is that both are good starts this week.

So you think the Guru knows just as much as the OP....noted....

I would trust my magic 8 ball before the CBS Guru

Why's everyone ganging up on the CBS Guru now? It's just a projection, remember? Name a site that really has a clue with these? I look at the projections on this site just for entertainment value every week, and nothing more. I don't choose my lineup based on anyone's weekly projections or sit/starts and typically I do pretty well.

The Guru is not a person, but rather our top-secret statistical formula that takes into account each player's past performance, injury status and upcoming NFL opponent to predict the number of fantasy points that player will score this week, based on your scoring system. The Guru's predictions, while potentially helpful in making tough lineup decisions, are really intended for enjoyment and to promote friendly trash-talking among league-mates.

So the Guru is the big blind of fantasy football. Its just there to create action. Got it.

It's pretty sound logic actually.

They may not be perfect, but CBS projections blow ESPN out of the water. I think they're a decent baseline.

Projecting discrete touchdowns is stupid, but fractional touchdowns would confuse the mouthbreathers too much.
