AI Game Review

Titans defied the model's 69% prediction for Knights, a notable upset. The margin model missed here, predicting 8.1 but the actual margin was 4 points. Total score prediction of 41 was close to the actual 44, within 3 points. Titans trailed 20–6 at half-time before staging a second-half comeback to win 20–24. The model went 1/3 on this match. The under 47.5 total call was correct.
