The 2017 NFL season commenced a point prediction model for games. When the point prediction model varied by a certain amount – the model triggered a bet. Confidence levels are reflected in a 1, 2 or 3-unit bet where each unit is 2% of the betting pot. The model started at $100 and the betting began in week 5 and ended after week 16. This is a completely data-driven model processing drive data through the performance metric explained on this website and a prediction model using season-to-date performance and recent week performances accounting for strength of opponent. Real-time predictions are verified on @aguyader17 on twitter by time stamp.
Human decisions were not involved and the prediction model executes game point predictions immediately upon completion of the last game each week. Promising first year of attacking the betting market of NFL point spreads.
