Elo Ratings and Conference Championship Odds

The Elo ratings have a bird crush on the Seahawks. Only four previous teams (the 2004 and 2007 Patriots, the 1997 Packers and the 1983 Washington Redskins) have entered the conference championship game with a higher Elo rating.

E L O does ratings??? Dont Bring Me Down man. Dont read the diary because Horace Wimp is a winner. After all I am wishing......

The ELO win probability lines up really closely with the betting line. The current spread would give us a 76% chance of winning.

This post has a life of its own. It's a Livin' Thing. So then.....to all Fudgepacker fans: Don't Bring Me Down with your silly posts. Otherwise I may have to get on the Telephone Line and call the Evil Woman and have her work a little of her Strange Magic on you all.

For 4 Little Diamonds?

Hold on Tight for the Showdown at Century Link! The noise of the 12s will cause Confusion for the Packers, leaving each of them saying he, "Can't Get it Out of My Head!" That noise is like a Livin' Thing and can be heard All Over the World. Go Hawks--send the Pack on the Long Black Road home!

Jeff Lynne approves this thread. Too bad tommorrow's forecast isn't calling for blue skies.

Strange Magic by an Evil Woman?
Turn 'em To Stone, I say.
