See its this attitude by the Corsi crowd that annoys the rest of us. Neanderthals? Are you f'ing kidding me?

Neither prediction is rooted in ignorance. Both are supported by quantifiable statistics that carry historical relevance. But one of them is going to be wrong.

Sure, I can get behind this, but it's funny you bring up goal differential since it's been more effective at predicting which teams are in playoff position this season than any advanced stat (15/16 as opposed to 11/16).
