AI Game Review

Our model correctly predicted Sea Eagles to win at 66% probability. The margin model missed here — predicting 3.1 but the actual margin was 28 points. Sea Eagles led 16–4 at the break and pulled away in the second half to win by 28. The model went 6/17 on this match. The 1-12 margin band call landed. The under 51.5 total call was correct.
