Nope. While there are issues with the UTEP study, sample size issues are not one of them.

No legitimate statistician would ever draw sweeping conclusions from a dataset with these sample size issues.
The UTEP guy is a finance field charlatan trying to capitalize on gullible people like you.

Research done by UTEP presents evidence that the Chiefs have benefited from slanted officiating from 2015 to 2023, a time that coincided with their rise as one of the NFL’s most marketable franchises.

This study is comical. It cannot identify that the Chiefs benefitted from “slanted officiating.” All it can show is that the Chiefs are more likely to get penalties, not that those penalties were undeserved/due to slanted refs.

And for everyone who is up in arms about this, note that the study finds that the Chiefs are much *less likely* to get penalty calls during the regular season. If the refs are biased for the Chiefs, why aren’t they helping them in the regular season?

On the postseason effects, it seems like this relationship is driven by other unobserved factors. Mahomes is a historically great postseason quarterback, & Andy Reid saves his best plays for the postseason. The way to stop this team in the postseason… is by committing penalties.

ICYMI: Yesterday I published a new @AEI report that ranked more than 400 current and former university presidents from the past 20 years. Presidents are judged by how much they improved access, affordability, and student success. This thread highlights the top ten:
