Looking Ahead – Week 14
Dave Poleck
2012-01-08
A tough decision can be made easier with these charts showing you the best five and worst five schedules for upcoming seven-day periods. Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher. The number next to the team indicates the ‘multiplier’ to use on a player’s point-per-game pace to give you an idea how many points to expect for that week.
This has been a mess of a week for me so I apologize for the lateness of the article. I put this chart together to give you guys an idea of how many games divisional opponents have left against each other this year. Although it's the half way point of the season, you're going to notice that we will be seeing a lot more divisional play than we did in the first half.
