Understanding Prediction Performance
What This Reveals
- Week-to-week volatility decreases as the season progresses and sample sizes grow.
- System reliability peaks during the 'Goldilocks' period of Weeks 8-14.
- Post-season performance validates the model's ability to filter out regular-season noise.
We don’t simply measure accuracy. We study how prediction systems perform differently throughout an NFL season.
WHAT THIS REVEALS
TRENDS
Performance changes throughout the season as teams evolve.
VARIATION
Consistency matters—stable performance is more valuable than occasional peaks.
AGREEMENT: Unified expert predictions signal high-confidence wins you can bank on.
OPPORTUNITY
When MEANFootball differs from the consensus, those games deserve closer analysis.
