Davis Postulate

2010
A couple weeks ago, Tuesday Morning Quarterback (TMQ, AKA Gregg Easterbrook) announced a new football prediction algorithm – the Davis Postulate.
The Davis Postulate states that existing trends will likely continue, so a team that won last week will win again this week. And vice-versa.
I have added it to the list of NFL prediction methods over on Some Fun Site.
I have both the Davis Postulate (which checks only the previous week and so includes the bye) and the Davis Postulate, Extended (which checks who has the longer current streak and skips byes).
Enjoy!
(p.s. More Yards Wins is still the leader, both in 2009 and 2010.)
