Title: How Accurate are NFL Score Predictions for Football? - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: We found that the accuracy of NFL score predictions for hockey is much less than that of football. The graph shows that the average margin of error in predicting a football game was 3.2 points, whereas it was 8.7 points in hockey games. This makes sense because there is so much more to account for in football with the use of strategy, which leads to a greater degree of variability and more opportunity for predictions to come true. In hockey, however, the sport itself is less variable, leading to less accuracy when it comes to predicting scores due to limited factors outside skill and luck being relevant. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
