NFL Forecaster
Over the past 16 seasons, NFL Forecaster has correctly predicted winners 65% of the time and spreads 57% of the time. Over the past 10 years, Forecaster has correctly predicted winners 66% of the time and spreads 57% of the time. (For the 1998-1999 season Forecaster hit 72% for winners and 64% for spreads; for the 1991-92 season it predicted 73% for winners and 64% for spreads.) Removing the unusual 1987-88 strike season from consideration raises Forecaster's wins and spreads accuracy about .5%. Although these do not equal the percentages of some sports handicappers, it should be noted that Forecaster predicted winners and spreads for 91% of the games (only 331 of 3,658 games were too close to call), not just Monday night games or "5-star specials." NFL Forecaster usually picks more winners than the handicappers and regularly predicts more spreads correctly than the Las Vegas odds-makers. Our Review: NFL Forecaster is a handy tool for anyone wanting to place the odd bet on NFL games. It calculates scores based on different criteria for each team such as offensive and defensive points, and by teams' past histories. NFL Forecaster even predicts spreads, but the program does rely on you inputting information on game results on a weekly basis. Although the purpose of the program is obvious, it would still be useful for those of you who simply like to keep tabs on your favourite teams and want to have an advance warning over the possible outcome of a game.
