NFLSimulatoR - Simulating Plays and Drives in the NFL
The intent here is to enable the simulation of
plays/drives and evaluate game-play strategies in the National
Football League (NFL). Built-in strategies include going for it
on fourth down and varying the proportion of passing/rushing
plays during a drive. The user should be familiar with
nflscrapR data before trying to write his/her own strategies.
This work is inspired by a blog post by Mike Lopez, currently
the Director of Data and Analytics at the NFL, Lopez (2019)
