Saints 9-8[/quote] You were right on your prediction.

Using laxnumbers for a “prediction” is like saying the Chiefs are going to beat the Bills by 7 when Vegas has them favored by +7. That just means you are unoriginal and can do subtraction. [/quote]

LaxNumbers is a joke. The algorithm they use is so flawed. Look at their national rankings. They have St Anthony’s as number one and Darien is 6. Darien beat SA and is undefeated.

The algorithm doesn’t factor in head to head results which is bizarre. Plus, how do they determine strength of schedule? Is it by how they have teams ranked from this year? Last year? As far as I can tell, the algorithm adds strength of schedule and goal differential (capped at 10 per game) to determine an overall score.

St Anthony’s plays one of the weakest schedules in the country every year. At most they play two or three teams that are in the top 25 at some point. Which historically means they have a big differential every year. DMV, Baltimore and Philly teams play rigorous schedules every year so even going undefeated they would have lower differentials.

LaxNumbers is good for scores but I wouldn’t put any stock in the rankings. [/quote]
