Predictions · Week 11

The model columns show each model's probability for the home team; our pick is The System’s team and its win probability (shown on the featured game and once a game kicks off; sign up for all of them). Games are sorted into the spots our replays found an edge in, with the record behind each. Once a game ends, the models are scored the way players are, and the week and season tallies show who's forecasting best. Imp. is importance: how much the league's playoff picture swings on the game, from simulated seasons (hover for the game's quality).

The System's team is on every game below, and its number on this week's featured game and on every game once it kicks off. Sign up for every number and the reasoning behind our lock and bold call. Locks went 85% over 27 seasons.
