EP 14: Evaluating the Score Prediction Model in Virginia Tech Games

In a 12 game sample, did the 2023 score prediction model achieve the lofty results we saw in testing?

Just before the start of the season, I unveiled a new score prediction model. If you missed that article, it might help to go back and read it (either before or after listening).

Each game preview I wrote this season included a data viz with a host of standard and advanced metrics, as well as the predicted scores for both Virginia Tech and the opposing team.

In this episode, I review the key stats for the model’s performance in Tech games. I also look at the offense and defense in terms of predictability, and discuss what that says about both the model and the team.
