We've been hard at work researching and designing a Super Bowl graphic, and in doing so, have stumbled upon an idea for predicting the success of NFL offenses. I know that Football Prospectus and other football statisticians have done work in this area, but as of yet I haven't seen too much done to visualize the data. So this afternoon, I took a bit of time to develop some methods for illustrating it. As Infojocks develops this idea a bit further, I think pairing it with a layer of information to show offensive success is key. But, for now, here are the results for two divisions:
In other news, still a bit astonishing to accurately plug in Ochocinco for the Receiver-formerly-known-as-Chad-Johnson. What a circus.

This is our blog. We post updates and explanations of our poster graphics, weekly graphics about current sports stories, and link to other sports references and blogs.
