How did we develop these forecasts? When researching historical NFL statistics, player performances and team make-up, SportSims.net’s President, Steve Olson, identified the key elements common to all Super Bowl teams throughout NFL history. “We researched all of the teams and recognized a pattern in all of the Super Bowl teams. We used what we learned to design our online franchise football simulation. Now we are applying it to this year’s NFL teams.”
