the use of pythagorean theorem to predict a team's future win/loss is flawed. the 2 variables used to perform the calculation (pf=points for & pa=points against) offers little, if any, value in predicting a team's future win/loss.
this is because a team's schedule changes every season and the difficulty level or strength of schedule will heavily dictate a team's future win/loss. a team's strength of schedule is more meaningful to determine future wins/losses than using pythagorean theorem.

It doesn't work like that. Too much to consider including Buffalo having an easy schedule and the development of Trent Edwards and their offseason additions.

The more time you spend on analysis, the better you will obviously do. For the most part, developing players and draft picks have a minimal impact on a team's performance - it is gradual over time. Strength of schedule is much more problematic.
