As always, a must read for all levels of football fans,

This review is from: Football Outsiders Almanac 2009: The Essential Guide to the 2009 NFL and College Football Seasons (Paperback)
This is the third year in a row I have bought Football outsiders Almanac (formerly Football Prospectus), and these books just keep getting better and better. More stats, more look into fantasy projections (which have been a HUGE help to me this year), and a much more in-depth look into college football. Overall, a great read, that makes feel like a much more informed fan when watching football.
Also, if you are a first time reader of these books, the Football Outsiders guys do a great job of explaining all of their stats, what they mean, and how they come about them. This gives you a great understanding of what they are trying to accomplish, and makes it easy for the reader to understand. Again, as always, a much read for all football fans that want to know more about the game.

This review is from: Football Outsiders Almanac 2009: The Essential Guide to the 2009 NFL and College Football Seasons (Paperback)
They try to replicate the Baseball Prospectus and generally do a good job. But some predictions, like the ones with Kevin Jones a few years back and Michael Turner last year were way off. Take it with a grain of salt but it is better than any magazine out there in the pre-season.

This review is from: Football Outsiders Almanac 2009: The Essential Guide to the 2009 NFL and College Football Seasons (Paperback)
This is year in and year out the best book to read when trying to get a better understanding of why NFL teams succeed and why others fail each season. Each edition is a wonderful look into the deeper factors that affect a team's performance, and this year's edition is no exception.
The only complaint I have is the seeming lack of specific subject essays from previous editions. Bring those back guys!
