Help me come up with a Project Design

This tool will be a decision based model, meaning all the factors involved have a certain probability of happening, which causes other things to happen, etc. Here's where you come in:
I need ideas as to what factors go into predicting a football game. I think I have the statistical parts of it, but I need non-statistical factors as well, such as weather or size of quarterback's forehead (I'm not really using that one).
As a thank you, I'll post my report, as well as the tool, here so everyone can check it out.

time of game would be interesting as well, does a certain team perform better during an early game (noon) or late game (3) or even primetime games.

Other ideas
- whether the coach gave them an extra rest day that week
- major political or social events in the home or visiting team's city
- some function of players' salaries
