The inclusion of “discretionary input” seems somewhat inconsistent with the basic NFLProPicker premise of a “logic based” approach. Am I right?

Yes, your premise has some merit. In fact, the developers of NFLProPicker agree to the extent that discretionary input seldom plays a role in determining a team’s chances of winning. However, a few legitimate situations do arise. The results of games near the end of the regular season are sometimes difficult to analyze because key players for well-positioned teams are rested in preparation for the playoffs. Also, unforeseen situations like bad weather and last-minute injuries to key players can become issues. The developers of NFLProPicker have found that in the process of acquiring and manipulating stats and picks, they acquire a “feeling” for situations that require discretionary adjustments. The developers do not want to deny their users the benefit of this insight.
