Rating: - Great insights into the game of football
If you thought that football was all brawn and no brains, think again. This book really does a great job of analyzing the game of football and showing that it is more than just choreographed violence. The authors offer insights into every team's past (last season) and future (the upcoming season) based on a number of metrics they developed.

I had been to their website at football outsiders before but this is the first purchase I had ever made with them. The info in the book is interesting and it probably holds up better in the beginning of the season versus the end.
