Win Probability

AI Game Review

Our model correctly predicted Rabbitohs to win at 60% probability. The margin model missed here — predicting 4.5 but the actual margin was 24 points. Total score prediction of 44 was close to the actual 48 — within 4 points. The model went 7/17 on this match. The 1-12 margin band call landed. The under 54.5 total call was correct.
