here's my first shot at a prediction model. it's just a vanilla logistic regression trained on three features for every nfl game since 2002: pythagorean expectation for each team, and a binary variable for home/away. it performed well on held-out validation data, and the fact that it seems to track the vegas odds so closely is very encouraging.

the left panel shows you my model's prediction vs the chance to win implied by the moneyline odds. the right panel shows you the difference between the predicted odds and the implied odds — this is the per-unit expected value of a bet for each team. positive numbers are good. you can multiply a team's per-unit EV by the size of a bet to get the average return on that bet (e.g., 0.05 * $100 = $5, so you should expect an average return of $5 for that bet).

Celtics have the best offense in the league,  Tatum is averaging 31 ppg. Could be quite a force if Robert Williams can return, stay healthy for the playoffs and make an impact. they're gonna win the title thanks.

edit damn tatum scored 43 and Celtics win 6th straight 🔥 😳

Gary, is there a way to display the WPA vs EPA data by week? Might have to be broken down by division or something for the sake of displaying it, but it’d be cool to see the season-long progression, with teams either adapting to new schemes, dealing with injury or trades, variation is strength of schedule.

I don’t know if those data lend themselves well to adding a temporal component, just think it’d be cool

yeah i think i might be able to whip something like that up. i could maybe make a gif that goes from week 1 to current that shows all the teams moving around wpa/epa space.
