NFL Playoff Schedule, No SuperBowl XLIII for the Chargers

Posted • January 15, 2009 • 1 Comment

OK I am finally over the shock of the Charger loss this weekend, well almost.

In my last post about Darren Sproles and the NFL Playoff Schedule I made some bold predictions.

Now I must eat humble pie.

Previous correct predictions:

Darren Sproles will be a search term with increasing searches
The Chargers will offer a jersey with the number 43

Keyword	100-day count	Predicted daily count	Competition	KEI	Ratio
sproles	12	17	551,000	0	45916.67
darren sproles	8	11	267,000	0	33375

Keyword	100-day count	Predicted daily count	Competition	KEI	Ratio
darren sproles	34	49	580,000	0	17058.82
sproles	20	28	687,000	0	34350
sproles youth jersey	6	8	76,700	0	1278.33

darren sproles ksu highlights	3	4	2,880	0	960

Keyword	100-day count	Predicted daily count	Competition	KEI	Ratio
darren sproles	35	50	713,000	0	20371.43
sproles	21	30	684,000	0	32571.43
darren sproles ksu autograph	6	8	3,030	0.01	505
sproles youth jersey	6	8	7,850	0	1308.33
darren sprole s college stats	3	4	132,000	0	44000
darren sproles football camp	3	4	18,200	0	6066.67
darren sproles ksu highlights	3	4	3,110	0	1036.67

The search term “darren sproles” , predicted the daily count has jumped from 11 to 50 and increase of 455%.

The number of sites using the phrase Darren Sproles has increased also from 267,000 to 713,000 an increase of 267%.

So the value of the keyphrase "darren sproles" has increased however slightly.

Now I am going to deal with my predictions debacle!

First let me deal with the predictions or should I say the predictions that were half correct. ( I am a glass is half full kind of guy anyway.)

The Chargers will beat the Ravens in San Diego

Well the Baltimore Ravens will continue on but to play the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A Chargers Eagles SuperBowl XLIII in Tampa

The Philadelphia Eagles will continue on to play the Arizona Cardinals. The Eagles still have a good chance to make it to the SuperBowl XLIII in Tampa.

Now for the wiffs!!!

The Chargers will beat the Ravens in San Diego

Well at least they played in San Diego.

San Diego Chargers win / Chargers 27 – Eagles 13

It is pretty evident this isn’t going to happen!

I still have one prediction I am banking on.

The Chargers will offer Sproles a contract that will keep him in San Diego

I do believe this will happen.

Late,
