Can I predict the results of NFL Games?

The short answer is no.

The long answer is that I can try, or at least make my computer try!  Using small data, linear regression, and a ton of stats (I think it is ~40 relevant stats per team), I can start to predict the margin of NFL games.  For fun and educational purposes only, I compare my picks against the spread set in Vegas to see if my picks were any good. Maybe these picks could come in handy if/when sports gambling is legal.

New picks every Wednesday, last week’s final results on Wednesday, and a few Weekend Updates after games finalize.
