I have a BYE WEEK so I'm bored and decided to see how I do with predictions. I went strictly off of the numbers so let's see how it goes. I have no "dog in the race" and I am not using ANYTHING other than the stats. I don't necessarily agree with all of the picks but let's see how it goes. Also, I added in a formula for home teams and weather.
the word "science" would be such a compliment. I wish it was that complex but we will see how close OR off I am. After a couple weeks, i'll tell you my formula. unless i'm horribly wrong than i'll just tell everyone i just guessed. It really is just off of the numbers though.
This did not go well. I will try the same formula next week and see if it does any better. DAMN! Record 6-2 but only 1 game within even a touchdown. SAD!

REVOLUTION by 8 over SHOCK
*****REVOLUTION WON BY 33 (WINNER: YES / +25)

*****GLADIATORS WON BY 1 (WINNER: YES / -27)
STAMPEDE by 17 over AVALANCHE
*****STAMPEDE WON BY 42 (WINNER: YES / +25)
OK so I think the formula works to pick the WINNERS but maybe not for the POINT SPREADS.....i'm disappointed. I went 9-0 and am 15-2 in 2 weeks. I sent them to myself on May 2 and didn't post them just in case I was horribly wrong. Remember that the picks aren't based on any personal feelings, rumors or bias. Just the "numbers" and the formula.
HERE WERE MY PICKS:
Great North
COBRAS by +13 over Oilers (Cobras won by 41)
ANARCHY by +3 over Outlaws (Anarchy won by 32)
STAMPEDE by +3 over Diggers (Stampede won by 16)
MONSTERS by +16 over Avalanche (Monsters won by 15)
GLADIATORS by +13 over Xtreme (Gladiators won by 14)
Big 9
SHOCK by +13 over Vipers (Shock won by 17)
LIONS by +10 over Trojans (Lions won by 9)
WILDCATS by +1 over Sting (Wildcats won by 9)
HAWKS by +10 over Raiders (Hawks won by 40)
Being that I feel a little more confident, I will post the picks for Week 6 tomorrow once I get all the stats in and stuff.
