Professor Mike Lewis kicks off this week's podcast with a discussion on the week's most zealous fans - from one fan setting himself on fire at Federer's final match to the "checkerbearded" Tennessee Volunteers fan.

Discussion of the Volunteers' ruckus fanbase leads us to talk college football as blue bloods like Michigan, USC, and Clemson fight to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.

We then transition to our weekly discussion on the NFL's top storylines going into Week 4 of play.

The Next Generation Fandom Survey (from the Emory Marketing Analytics Center) is a deep dive into how fandom works across the American population. It examines how fandom varies across demographic cohorts, gender, income, political ideology, and more. Amongst its many questions, the survey asks respondents to rate how much they like a variety of sports figures and celebrities. Serena Williams is one of the featured celebrities.

Following Serena's retirement, we take a look at the data to observe how the women's tennis legend fares amongst sports GOATs.

Today we continue discussing where the NFL is going in 2022 with a data-driven look at the NFC West. Our NFL projections are based on a forecast of team performance and a subjective assessment of each team’s quarterback’s storylines.

The team win forecast is primarily driven by a new advanced QB metric called QB Wins. The QB Wins metric is something that Mike has been working on for a decent amount of time. The QB Wins metric is computed using a wide range of raw data (TD passes, interceptions, yards, etc.), expert statistics (passer rating, QBR), and non-QB data (defense stats, rushing, etc.). The algorithm leverages the correlations and differences between these data sources to separate out QB, running game, and defensive performance. A second statistical analysis estimates the relationship between quarterback performance factors (and defensive and rushing factors) and team performance (wins). The result is a QB metric that identifies how much a player contributes to his team's record in a given year.

In this podcast, Mike forecasts each NFC West team’s 2022 record using the QB Wins metric - with particular attention paid to changes in the QB position.
