Microsoft/Bing have now added the prediction of football games to their digital personal assistant.

 

This is not the first time Cortana has predicted sporting events. The algorithm was used to predict 15/16 elimination matches correctly, the only wrong prediction was picking Brazil over Netherlands in the 3rd place match.

 

Here are her selections:

 

Seahawks over the Packers

Texans over the Redskins

Chiefs over the Titans

Patriots over the Dolphins

New York Jets over the Raiders

Eagles over the Jets

Steelers over the Browns

Rams over the Vikinkings

Bears over the Bills

Ravens over the Bengals

Falcons over the Saints

Buccaneers over the Panthers

49ers over the Cowboys

Broncos over the Colts

Lions over the Giants

Cardinals over the Chargers

It's okay though, everyone forgets about the Jags, even their fans

If the Cowboys D wasn't so bad, I could see that one happening.  But there's almost nobody who's even "average" playing on that side of the ball.  Can't see how Kaep won't be able to score 30+ against them. 

 

But I can see the Chargers wining the game vs the Cardinals.  The Chargers have a better defense than most people realize.  Cardinals have a great secondary but I don't know if they'll be able to stop the Chargers running game and dump-off passes to woodhead.

Very true!  However, the San Francisco offense has been atrocious all preseason long.

I think that game could be a classic Stoppable Force vs Movable Object confrontation.

I think the game will be more about Arizona's offense. Not high on Palmer at all and he seems to throw interceptions a lot. If he does well I think they win, but he is pretty average. I'm pretty sure that game they won against the Seahawks he threw like 4 picks and their defense still kept it pretty low scoring.

If anyone is curious how it is done. 

 

For pro football, we model the respective strengths of the teams by examining outcomes from previous seasons including wins, losses, and the very rare tie outcome (two games since 2009), factoring in margin of victories, location of contest, playing surface and roof cover (or lack thereof), weather and temperature conditions, scoring by quarters, and multiple offensive and defensive statistics. In addition to this prior model, we identify fans on Web and Social sites and track their sentiment to understand the aggregate wisdom of this expressive crowd. This introduces data which statistics alone cannot capture, providing real-time adjustments which surprisingly can capture injury news and other substantive factors in win probabilities.

Good point.

 

But the game is in Dallas and Romo and the Cowboys' offense can put up big numbers.  I see Romo and Dez hooking up quite a bit in that game.  The game could be a shootout.

 

The 49ers looked like one of the worst prepared teams in the preseason along with the Panthers.

It's cause the 49ers D isn't that great now either.

If she is pretty accurate, you need to continue this for every week.

I think people are overreacting to that. They'll still be top 10 by the end of the year. I'd say for the first half of the schedule, they'll be at worst top 15. Good coaching and playmakere on that side of the ball will keep a good defense.

By the end of the year, Ya. For this game, no.

The only one of those I would take is the Saints over the Falcons and that's iffy.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By krunk · Posted

      Man I feel real strong about Brian Thomas jr. I think it's on and cracking if we get him. His game is just consistent and he is such a hard cover. I like him being paired with Pittman. I really do!

      This is probably the most exciting nonplaying event of the year and it’s tomorrow. I just hope that Balllard  and the scouting department I’ve done their job thoroughly

      2024 NFL Draft Thread (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…)

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      @2006Coltsbestever @NFLfan   Kirk has been treated much better and with much more respect than Wentz was treated in Indy. And was showed with Love and truckloads of money in Minnesota, and was defended constantly with much more ferocity by Vikings fans than people defending Ballard in Grievances thread.    it'd be crazy to think of injustice against Kirk for a few minority who criticize his play.    We're Going back and forth on Kirk debate which will go on for eternity, but I struck Gold when I saw recently @Superman explaining how he felt watching Wentz playing with other teams before he got to Indy and how it felt watching him play for Colts when you're emotionally invested with the franchise.    There's no other way to perfectly describe Kirk Cousins' career and his QB play.   For every fan around the NFL, especially for fantasy football fans, Kirk will be a hero and am above average QB. But, when you're emotionally invested in your favourite franchise and Kirk plays QB for your team, you would come close to understanding how excruciatingly frustrating his play and smartness and game awareness are (or shortage of them are), that all contributes to team missing playoffs many years and even when they qualify, no one sees Kirk as a threat in playoffs. Ever. Your team would be paying Elite QB Money for that, and you'd be constantly in debate with criticizers Vs defenders. Until he plays for your team, you won't realize that, and I totally understand.    Anyway, happy to pass on that frustration over to Falcons fans, they'd know soon. First of all, Kirk takes at least a season or two to trust his OL, even if you put an elite line and weapons around him, and it's all in his head. I'm going to sit back and read Falcons forums for Fun in 2024 Season! Good Times!

      Update: Jim Irsay speaks publicly (merged)

      By CoachLite · Posted

      There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.
