  • An Examination of Decision-Making Biases on Fourth Down in the National Football League
    An Examination of Decision-Making Biases on Fourth Down in The National Football League Weller Ross, B.S. Sport Management Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Health Sciences (Sport Management) Faculty of Applied Health Sciences Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada c September 2016 Dedication This thesis is dedicated to the loving memory of my uncle, David Ross, who passed away on April 14, 2016. Uncle David contributed to the field of sport management for 45 years, dating back to when he earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee and his master's degree from Ohio University. He went on to have an extremely impressive career in arena management, which included serving as the president of the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) and being accorded the industry's most prestigious honor, the Charles A. McElravy Award, which signifies extraordinary contributions to the field. Most importantly, David was a loving uncle and a great mentor. We love you, Uncle David. You will be missed. Abstract The recent developments in the field of sport analytics have given researchers the tools to exam- ine an increasingly diverse set of topics within the world of sport in ways not previously possible (Alamar, 2013; Fry and Ohlmann, 2012). This study analyzes the decision-making processes of high level coaches under different contexts and then determines whether or not a specific subconscious psychological bias, known as the representativeness heuristic, caused the individual to make the choice they did. Past empirical research has examined people's decisions in different contexts and, from those con- texts, made inferences about how those individuals made their decisions and what errors in their decision-making processes could have led to their suboptimal choices (Kahneman and Tversky, 1979; Kobberling and Wakker, 2005; Tom et al, 2007; Tversky and Kahneman, 1992).

The Buckeyes are taking on Miami (Ohio), the MAC champions, and a team it beat by more than 70 points in 2019. Will they prevail against the outmatched RedHawks, and if so, who will Ohio State be facing off with in the upcoming round? Further than that, what will the entire Round of 32 look like for this virtual tournament? Find all those answers below with a game-by-game breakdown of what the video game consoles churned out.

Even with the backups in, Ohio State had no issues holding off the RedHawks, and second-string quarterback Chris Chugunov even got in on the fun late, delivering a strike to Binjimen Victor for a 59- yard score with just three minutes to play.

  • NFL Time Management: the Role of Timeouts in End-Game Scenarios
    NFL Time Management The Journal of SPORT, 2015, 4(1), 47-64 © Kent State University NFL Time Management: The Role of Timeouts in End-Game Scenarios Bryan Beasley University of San Francisco Ryan Greenwald University of San Francisco Nola Agha University of San Francisco Abstract Time management is an important part of game strategy in the National Football League (NFL), especially in the second half of a game that could be decided by a field goal. This paper determines the in-game factors that contribute to an NFL offensive team’s total time taken to reach field goal range during the final six minutes of regulation in games that are within three points or less. Using data constructed from 2009-2011 NFL regular season games, we find that neither quarterback rating nor the number of All-Pro players affect the speed at a which a team reaches field goal range. However, counter to conventional wisdom, using an offensive timeout during the final drive of the game extends the time it takes to reach field goal range by 22 seconds. On the other hand, the mere availability of an offensive timeout decreases the time it takes to reach field goal range by 19 seconds. Both of these effects are found in games where the offense is behind by 1, 2, or 3 points, but not in tied games. These findings inform in-game coaching decisions for football head coaches. 47 Beasley, Greenwald & Agha Introduction “It’s about strategically giving your team the best chance to win.

  • Voraussichtlich Maximal 80 Spieler Pro Team Bei Den Camps,NFL
    Voraussichtlich maximal 80 Spieler pro Team bei den Camps Laut Tom Pelissero vom NFL Network erlaubt die NFL aufgrund der Coronavirus-Pandemie nur 80 Mann pro Team beim Trainingscamp. In der Vergangenheit konnten Teams bis zu 90 Spieler ins Camp mitnehmen. Eine kleinere Roster- Obergrenze bedeutet, dass die meisten – wenn auch nicht alle – Teams einige Spieler vor dem Camp entlassen müssen. Das Reduzieren der Rostergröße war eines von mehreren Themen, die die NFL Players Association am Dienstag erörterte. Den Spielern wurde auch gesagt, dass es 2020 keine Preseason Spiele geben wird, ein Zeichen, dass die Gewerkschaft das Angebot der NFL akzeptierte, die Vorbereitungsspiele vollständig zu streichen. Das Trainingscamp und die Preseason-Spiele sind in der Regel jene Möglichkeiten, bei denen sich Rookies und ansonsten womöglich entlassene Talente präsentieren können, um es auf den Regular Season Roster zu schaffen.

  • A Causal Estimate of Fourth Down Behavior in the National Football League
    Journal of Sports Analytics 5 (2019) 153–167 153 DOI 10.3233/JSA-190294 IOS Press What was lost? A causal estimate of fourth down behavior in the National Football League Derrick R. Yama and Michael J. Lopezb,∗ aBrown University, RI, USA bSkidmore College, NY, USA Abstract. In part driven by academic research, perception in the sports analytics community asserts that coaches in the National Football League are too conservative on fourth down. Using 13 years of data, we confirm this premise and quantify the unobserved benefit that teams have missed out on by not utilizing a better fourth down strategy. Formally, teams that went for it are paired to those who did not go for it via a nearest neighbor matching algorithm. Within the matched cohort, we estimate the additional number of wins that each NFL team would have added by implementing a basic but more aggressive fourth down strategy. We find that, on average, a better strategy would have been worth roughly an extra 0.4 wins per year for each team.
