Game Predictions Sept 28
Well, I sure was pleasantly surprised last night: 8 for 9 of my predictions were right! Hehe, I have to say I really think that was a fluke (there seriously haven’t been enough games for my algorithms to be accurate) but it just goes to show you that stats don’t lie. I only missed San Jose beating Calgary. I did catch the “upsets” (based on points in the preseason) of Rangers (6 points) over Boston (8) and Florida (1) over Atlanta (4). Home teams did almost exactly as expected, as well, winning 5 of 9 games (56%).
So I should probably just stop with the predictions now and go out with an overall 89% accuracy rating, eh?
Naaaaah.
Here are tonight’s predictions:
Away — Home — Prediction
——————————-
Chi @ Fla — Chicago
Det @ TB — Detroit
Mtl @ Ott — Montreal
Phi @ NJ — New Jersey
StL @ Min — Minnesota
Edm @ Pho — Edmonton
The two close games should be Montreal-Ottawa and St. Louis-Minnesota. The Montreal-Ottawa game is actually very close, as Montreal has a very poor record on the road (and has had an easy road schedule) while Ottawa has been equally bad at home (with an even easier schedule). Chicago has been just hurtling along in the preseason, as has Edmonton. Phoenix has done alright but has had a very difficult schedule.
