Enth Launches NFL Search Engine for the Upcoming Season
Chicago, IL – August 29, 2007 -Enth, Inc., the next generation search engine, today announced its National Football League (NFL) search capabilities. With millions of fans gearing up for the football season and preparing to draft their fantasy teams, Enth.com provides a free, easy-to-use tool for users to pose plain-English questions and get the exact results they're looking for to give them greater insight into the game and an upper hand on the competition.
Through its partnership with STATS LLC, the world's leading sports information provider, Enth is able to aggregate, filter and sort statistics to quickly create new content based on the question submitted by the user. For example, if you typed, "What is Peyton Manning's passer rating on the road since 2005," Enth instantly returns the answer of "101.0."
In an effort to reach to more fans, Enth's search bar can now be added to any fantasy or sports Website as a free tool, giving their users unique access to statistics previously only available on Enth.com. The stand-alone search box can be easily added as an RSS feed or a search box by visiting Enth.com.
"Not only can stat-heads, fantasy nuts and sports fans of all types go to Enth.com and get specific statistics on categories like completions, yards and touchdowns, but users can dig deeper into the numbers to break down key matchups," said Enth founder John Grace. "Predicting player performance from week to week is especially important for anyone wanting to pick up a 'sleeper' to give your team a much needed boost."
Evaluating players' performances and predicting how they'll perform in a given week is a daunting task and an inexact science no matter how many draft guides are studied. Using Enth to look at quarterbacks' passer ratings from week to week last season and typing, "Who had the best passer rating before week 9 in 2006 with a minimum 50 attempts" into Enth's search bar, we find that Marc Bulger's rating of 101.3 during the first half of the season was second only to Peyton Manning's. Similarly, by looking at quarterback ratings after week 10, we find that Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning finished deep in the field, but "sleepers" J.P. Losman and Jay Cutler both finished in the top 10 with ratings of 89.7 and 88.5 respectively. Whether you use Enth's search tool to get an early jump on "sleepers" or put together a team based on historical performance throughout the season, Enth gives you all of the information you need to make the best decisions come draft day.
In addition to being a valuable resource for fantasy sports, Enth's football capabilities extend beyond traditional statistics with wagering information dating back to 2000. Users can now search statistics like a team's records against the spread and over-under, as well as record when favored or the underdog and when playing at home or away. In this season's first Monday Night Football game Baltimore is playing Cincinnati, who is favored by three points. By typing "What is the Bengals record against the spread when favored at home" into Enth's search bar, we find that Cincinnati's record is 9-16-2 under these circumstances.
