AI reads. Ugh. Gut calls are more accurate for HS lax (I think). It’s like Maxpreps national rankings. Not remotely accurate.

It isn’t an AI interpretation it’s simply using the data. A human with a bit more time and Excel would derive the same predictions.

Which also are mostly the same as the human predictions.

Your human interpretation was pretty dumb.

That's really not how data works. Scores against opponents is absolutely a viable method to have game predictions/expectations.

It's the dumbest of hills to climb up on and die on when the data is pretty dang similar in predictions to the sole human's predictions provided.

Took the match ups and used the LaxNumbers Ratings and had an LLM do predictions (not all games predicted):

MONDAY
South County vs W&L - W&L by 1
Westfield vs Fairfax - Westfield by 3
Langley vs South Lakes - Langley by 7
Yorktown vs Chantilly - Yorktown by 2

TUESDAY
Independence vs Briar Woods - Independence by 10+
Stone Bridge vs Broad Run - Insufficient data
Dominion vs Freedom SR - Insufficient data

WEDNESDAY
Langley vs Sidwell Friends - Insufficient data
West Springfield vs Yorktown - Toss-up, West Springfield by 1
Independence vs Herndon - Independence by 8
Westfield vs McLean - Toss-up, McLean by 1
Madison vs West Potomac - Madison by 8

THURSDAY
Oakton vs Robinson - Robinson by 3

FRIDAY

The human missed the Centreville at Herndon game for a prediction, LaxNumbers data says Herndon wins by 1.
