Great work!!!! I look forward to your results each week.
There was no pick for the Christian Brothers @ Rabun Gap for this week. Am I assuming correctly that you don't provide a pick here because CB is out of NC state and therefore you have no collected data?
I will go out on a limb and say CB wins by 7. RG's schedule is far more challenging than CB's schedule but CB has been putting up big points on their opponents. According to Maxpreps, RG's schedule, up to this date, is about 27 ranking points higher than CB's average opponents. If I were to do a deeper dive, I probably would come to a more definitive conclusion of tonight's game.
My analysis is meant in no way to challenge or compete with your massive predictive system. Your 90% success last week proves you have a great algorithm. But looking at other ratings-based predictions, Massey suggests CB winning by 11, HSRatings suggests CB winning by 5 and MaxPreps
inferring a CB win by less than 5.
It should be a great game. And again thanks for sharing your work with us!
