AI Game Review

Roosters defied the model's 64% prediction for Broncos, a notable upset. The margin model missed here, predicting 10.1 but the actual margin was 10 points. Total score prediction of 47 was close to the actual 42, within 5 points. The model went 1/3 on this match. The under 50.5 total call was correct.
