NFL teams should just go for two every single time they score a touchdown

Is there any reason why teams shouldn't just go for two every time? No, not at all. Just go for two every time... isn't 50% of two greater than 97% of one?

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

Analytically, the expected value of going for 2 is often higher, but game context prevents it from being a universal 'correct' play.

I officially called the Browns being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs back in August

I actually broke that news back in August. The second they announced RG3 as their starting quarterback... I said, okay, they've just clinched last place in the AFC. They've clinched the first draft pick, and they're mathematically eliminated right now.

Fact Claim Football Medium

The Browns were indeed the first team eliminated and finished 1-15 in 2016.

I'm jumping on the Cowboys train and betting on them for Thanksgiving, which means they'll probably lose

How long am I going to keep doubting the Dallas Cowboys? They're now nine and one against the spread... I'm going to bet on them Thanksgiving Day. And they're going to get, I don't know if they'll lose, but they're not going to cover the spread.

Prediction Football Mild

The Cowboys beat the Redskins 31-26 on Thanksgiving but failed to cover the 7-point spread, making Big Cat partially correct about the cover but wrong about the loss.
