During the NFL season and the last two weeks of the playoffs, we’ve picked the winners of each week’s match-ups using social media buzz. The data is pulled
using Lithium Social Media Monitoring and plugged into a series of formula (more here) with assigned points. While it may seem odd, the season saw these formulas produce a 132-123 mark and a 4-4 showing in the playoffs. The Wild Card round was 3-1, while the Divisional round ended up 1-3. Below are this week’s predictions (click on any team to see their full week’s data):
Baltimore, 6, New England 10
New York Giants 10, San Francisco 6
Do you think that the social Web’s prediction of the G-Men and Patriots will happen? Or do you think that another team will head to Indianapolis for a shot at the Lombardi Trophy?
I for one am hoping for a Thanksgiving Day rematch of the Ravens and the ‘Niners.
I hope not!
I hope not! I’d love to see the Ravens and the 49ers head to the big game!
@ChristaMarzan That is what I am pulling for. But have to do picks based on numbers and formulas. Who is your team?
@jeffespo Ravens! Actually either the Ravens or the 49ers, really anyone but the Giants and/or the Patriots. You’re all for the Ravens, right?
@jeffreypjacobs TY sir
@jeffespo my pleasure.
@danperezfilms TY sir
@jeffreypjacobs 🙂 who you picking for the SB?
@jeffespo Patriots/Niners, Patriots win big, IMHO.
[…] is ready for some football this weekend? I know I am and am hoping that at least one of my social media NFL predictions is wrong and that the Ravens earn a berth in the Super Bowl. Who are you pulling for this weekend? […]
@cargillcreative thanks sir, obviously I am hoping for a different AFC champ
@cargillcreative @patriots @jeffespo Would love to see that rematch
@kprochnow if you look at what my gut pick was, we’d have a Turkey Day rematch but for the picks I go on the numbers
@jeffespo I was dead certain #49ers would beat Saints. No such feeling or certainty vs. #Giants. On a slick field…
@jeffespo I know who you want to win on Sunday. I wish it wasn’t true, but my son, Ben, is rooting for the Ravens as well. Not me. Go Pats!
@Mike_BostonMBA Yes, definitely. Patriots versus Giants on 2/5/12 would be ideal.
@cargillcreative Ben has great taste in teams
@JMMuscarello thanks be sure to tune in Thursday 🙂
