While most of the coursework for my MBA is pretty useless when it comes to football application, one thing that I found interesting was this thing called the Delphi Test, developed by RAND Corporation. Essentially it was origionally developed as a simple survey however it turned out to be one of the most accurate predictors of future events to ever be discovered, and is used by USC, UCLA, Berkley, Stanford, etc. to predict- with amazing accuracy- future trends in business.
By now, most of you are wondering what on Earth this has to do with the Dolphins and if you read on just a bit further I will tell you.
In order for this to work you need two things: a random group of individuals with some type of commonality (i.e. a bunch of people who are all football fans) and the group has to be somewhat large (they recommend 200+ but that will never happen.) Since we have both of those things here, I decided to test this thing to see if there is any validity to it.
Anyway, the question is:
How many points to you believe the Dolphins will score during their first regular season game?
Please answer the question with as little bias as possible and give a brief explanation (one or two sentences) as to why you think that and how confident- percentage wise- you are of your prediction. I'll need a lot of answers so please just keep them rolling in (this goes for you lurkers too, I would love to see you guys post here.)
I'll compile this information and let you all know if this thing turns out to be accurate or not. If it is, all you gambling hounds out there may have a new tool to use. Thanks for playing, I'll keep you all updated.:D
