ESPN Game Predictor vs. Lines and O/U

[juanitodelfuego]

I ran 4 different scenarios on ESPN Game Predictor and then compared it to the lines, here is what it came up with. Looking for large variances.

Picks added for lines:

MIN / U

OAK / U

SNG / O

NOR / U

TAM / O

NEW / O

TEN / U

KAC / O

DEN / U

MIA / O

CIN / O

DET / O

SFO / O

Interesting, but what's the conclusion here? The ESPN numbers were usually a couple points off. But the ESPN predictor is trying to predict the score of the games. The lines are not predictions of the scores of the games or point spreads for that matter.

No conclusion yet, I want to see, and thought other may as well, if the ESPN GamePredictor is even close.

If it shows a total of 49 and the O/U for the same game is 36, then there is some pad to take the over.

Likewise, on tough calls, if it shows the fav winning by an average of 10 pts, and the line is 2, it may put me over the edge.
