[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elo ? The NFL is unforgiving  and every team’s misfortune creates an opportunity for someone else. Atlanta and Carolina’s inconsistencies this year have allowed a familiar division foe to become relevant again: the New Orleans Saints. After a spell of mediocrity that saw the Saints finish with a 7-9 record in each of the past three seasons  Sean Payton’s team appear to be on the rise  for now. The Saints have climbed to sixth in our NFL Rankings  with an Elo rating of 1589. At 4-2 and atop the NFC South  the Saints now have a 73 percent chance of making the playoffs and a 56 percent chance of winning the division — both of which are the best chances New Orleans has seen this season.
Though the readers registered a net loss of 14.2 points in Week 7 of our NFL prediction game — in which we invite readers to try to outsmart our Elo algorithm — they tied for their most successful week to date this season. The biggest net win of the week for readers  which also happens to be readers’ biggest net win of the season so far  came in the Saints’ 26-17 win on the road over the Packers. The readers took advantage of  Elo’s  inability to account for teams’ injuries in  its  predictions and selected a surging Saints team over an Aaron Rodgers-less Packers team  gaining 20.4 points over Elo on that game.
The other double-digit net win for the readers came in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ shutout victory over the Indianapolis Colts. That means the Jaguars continued to haunt Elo for another week: Our algorithm now has a 1-6 record when predicting the outcome of games involving the Jags (that’ll teach us for joking about Jacksonville every week).
It’s not too late to try your luck against Elo  so make sure you make your Week 8 predictions.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ? BRUSSELS/BERLIN (Reuters) - On the eve of his trip to Europe  Rex Tillerson gave a speech last week that European allies had waited months to hear: an âironcladâ promise of U.S. support to its oldest allies.

The question is whether European officials believe him  given tensions during his April visit to Europe  when Reuters reported  Tillerson  initially planned to skip a NATO meeting in Brussels and then only attended under pressure from allies.
âIf there were expectations that  Tillerson  might evolve into a counterweight to Trump  someone who could pass on messages from partners and exert moderating influence over American foreign policy â those expectations have been disappointed â said Niels Annen  foreign policy spokesman for Germanyâs Social Democrats in parliament.
The French have gone around  Tillerson  to develop contacts with U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis  White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly  while the EUâs top diplomat Federica Mogherini has gone directly to Vice President Mike Pence.
One European diplomat said  Tillerson  was in a difficult position from the outset because the Trump administration was hostile to Iran and brought in a team of generals who took a hard line  âso it never left  Tillerson  much room.â

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joe Lombardo ? Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo  said Monday that the Mandalay Bay did a great job hiring police as security for the concert and âhad sufficient staffing for the concert.â Firefighters joined police in responding quickly after the shooting started   Lombardo  said.
âThis is an individual that is described as a lone wolf â  Lombardo  told a news conference as the investigation continued. âI donât know how it could have been prevented  if we didnât have any prior knowledge as to this individual.â
Police planned to review the hotelâs surveillance videos of gunman Stephen Paddock  64  of Mesquite  Nev.  who checked into the hotel on Thursday. Paddock  who killed himself when officers closed in  brought the guns into the hotel himself  and the weapons werenât obvious when workers visited the room   Lombardo  said.
âWe do know that  he  brought these weapons in on  his  own â  Lombardo  said. âNothing nefarious was noticed.â
