Free once games are final

Archive

Every prediction becomes free when the game ends. Each game shows the model's pregame win probability, moneyline, spread, and projected margin next to the final score.

Were the model's chances right?

Every game is sorted by the chance that the Field Theory model gave each team to win. Each bar shows the amount of teams in that prediction range that actually won. When the model's chances are honest, the bar boundary ends up inside the shaded band.

How often the model's favorites won, by the chance it gave them
