Last updated:  Tuesday, September 29, 2026 - thru games of September 28

Prediction Accuracy


PICKING WINNERS STRAIGHT UP IN GAMES/WINNERS AND WITHIN 8 PTS. ON SPREAD:

SEASON TOTAL: 739 right, 189 wrong - 80% right; 33% right and within 8 pts. (304/928)

Week by week:
Week 1: 149 right, 47 wrong - 76% right; 32% right and within 8 pts. (63/196)
Week 2: 152 right, 45 wrong - 77% right; 30% right and within 8 pts. (59/197)
Week 3: 147 right, 35 wrong - 81% right; 31% right and within 8 pts. (56/182)
Week 4: 140 right, 30 wrong - 84% right; 34% right and within 8 pts. (58/170) (1 tie - doesn't count)
Week 5: 151 right, 32 wrong - 83% right; 37% right and within 8 pts. (68/183)



I calculate the spread for each game by taking the power ratings of the two
teams and adding in two points for the home team.  If the margin of victory
exceeds 42 points, take the difference between the forecast spread and 42 and
divide by 2 to get my projected spread, due to the new NC mercy rule(running
clock once spread hits 35 in the second half).  For example, 60 points would 
become 51; 50 points would become 46, etc.  The predictions will become more 
accurate as the season progresses.
