KC bro, thanks for your compliments!!! The things that I do when choosing the team is to look at the home record for the home team and at the road record for the road team. Furthermore, I also look the most recent games for the team depending upon the home games or the road games and also look at the opponent's most recent games. I also compare the scoromg offense and scoring defense between two teams and weigh the team by the difference in scoring offense and scoring defense. Finally, I also look at the stats of QBs, RBs and WRs, and most importantly defensive stats. Sounds crazy huh!! But, these are few things that I take into considerations while choosing team. But,choosing the team is little bit arbitrary too. You always have to expect something unexpected. However, taking stats in mind is always the safest way to predict W/L. I am not the expert nor the pundit, it's my complete speculation. LOL!!!
