I just encountered the football metric of Luck%. A simplified explanation Luck% is- the difference between a team's actual winning percentage and their on-field performance, as measured by play-by-play data. You can Google for lots more info. The article I read today said that Texas has an Unlucky rating, and so we could be expected to win more, or win more decisively.

Analytics types- what do you make of this. Do good teams make their own luck (Chiefs have the highest Luck% rating in the NFL)? Is Texas snakebit, or discriminated against? Do we flip the script Saturday?
