Important Notes on NFL Predictions	Show \| Hide
NFL Predictions listed on this page are based on the default settings of the Team Rankings GameZone NFL predictions tool, a 100% objective and data-driven system developed by Stanford engineers. Default settings loosely reflect our research into which statistics tend to be good predictors in most cases. We encourage our users to manipulate the predictions tool for each matchup of interest, and to customize individual factor settings to test alternative strategies for predicting NFL outcomes. Although we will provide performance tracking information at the default settings, keep in mind the following guidelines: The system does not incorporate or attempt to model the potential effects of injuries, weather conditions, coaching strategies, specific player matchups, emotional factors such as team morale, or anything else not listed in the statistical factors box. Making any corresponding adjustments to predictions will require your own judgment. Every data-driven predictive system has a margin of error associated with it, and this system is no different. We believe that a 3% to 5% safety buffer around odds to win/cover is warranted, as is a 1.5 to 3 point buffer around expected margin of victory. For example, if odds to win for a given team are calculated at 53.5%, margin of error means that the actual win odds calculation may be as low as 48.5% or as high as 58.5%, based on the variance inherent in our data set and models. Every matchup is different, and tweaking the factor settings for a matchup based on the specific characteristics of the two teams in question may improve prediction accuracy. Simply adjust the importance sliders and time filters for any factor, and prediction information will update. Try to give the "Help" section a good read. It's lengthy, but it will enable you to understand how this product works and how to use it best. We're confident that if you read the help section, you'll be convinced of the analytical power and sound mathematical foundation of this tool. Please remember that luck and probability mean that anyone can win or lose big over one week, month, or even season. The key is to adopt a consistent strategy that you can measure, refine, and improve over the long term, and to filter emotion out of the process of making picks. This product can provide the basis to do so. Have fun, and please let us know your comments, questions, suggestions, and feedback!
