Week 8: all 17 crews are in the normal range. None above the league standard, none below it. What changed: Novak's crew (+30%, likely range -2% to +65%) and Wrolstad's (+21%, -2% to +45%) were Above standard after week 7. Both ranges now include zero.

Tonight's BUF at MIN crew, led by Carl Cheffers, has thrown 14.9 flags a game in 7 games this season. The same teams drew 17.8 a game from other crews. Fewer so far, but 7 games is a small sample: likely range 35% below to 3% above standard. Typical. #BUFvsMIN #BillsMafia #Skol

Week 9 forecasts, logged before kickoff. Expected accepted flags, 80% range. Every game sits at about 13 to 16, and nine of 14 round to 14. The ranges overlap, so no real gap. Most of the swing is chance. Not betting advice. We don't bet, and we take no betting money.

Week 7 crew report. 2 of 17 NFL crews are above the league standard. The other 15 are in the normal range. Scott Novak's crew: +41% (likely range +10% to +70%) Craig Wrolstad's crew: +26% (+1% to +50%), new this week % = flags a game vs what the same teams drew from other crews

Correction: our Week 7 thread said 2 of 17 crews were Above standard. It is 1 of 17 (Novak's crew holds). Our Week 8 report also said Wrolstad's crew changed from Above standard after week 7. It didn't: under our corrected label rule it was Normal range at both weeks. Our error.

The corrected Week 7 chart: Novak's crew (+41%) is the 1 of 17 above standard. Wrolstad's crew is +26%, but its range starts at about 0%, so it's in the normal range.
