Microsofts Cortana makes NFL week 1 predictions.

[beastson52]

As many of your already probably knew without opening this thread..... she has us losing. She's giving us a 43.4% chance of pulling the upset. No biggie, I know were going to whoop that Pirate butt.

 

 

What really caught my eye was how accurate she (Now were giving AI's gender?) was predicting the 2014 World Cup.

 

EDIT: Trying to link article but can't

Cortana is referenced for the AI from the Halo games.

 

Originally yes, now shes more of a universal assistant for windows 8.1 phones and coming to other windows products. But yeah, she's originally from the Halo series.

The fug do you mean by "pulling off the upset"? I don't care what Vegas says, it's not an upset when a 12 win team beats MRSA Bay

Thanks a bunch for this.

No problem. It'll be interesting to see how this works out.

Us pulling an upset? 12-4 carolina are underdogs to a 6 win team?

It looks like the formula used places a huge emphasis on "home-field advantage".

"It is what it is" lol..... I'll take being an underdog any day of the week though. Seems like we due better in that situation.

Upset?

The best front 7 in the league vs McCown and his OLine?

I mean Lovie Smith and his MRSA butt pirates will be UPSET after we beat them (with gloves on). But it won't be an upset.

Didn't need a new thread but this site has line predictions for the season and looks model/stats driven. Has us favored in 9 games.

what ever its using to predict these games It's pretty good at doing it. World cup didn't have home field games and she predicted 15 out of 16 games correct.  I thought that was a bit interesting.

I'd be interested to see the formula for the NFL games and how it differentiates from the World Cup games.

Unfortunately, that type of stuff is rarely made available.

Yea, well never see that. Its basically a Microsoft developed algorithm.
