The NFL Game Predictor is a program I wrote to predict the scores of NFL games based on stats from previous games. The table below shows the computer's Super Bowl predictions at each week in the season, and you can click the link on each one for the current predictions that week. Those pages include the team rankings for that week, the predictions for the games that week as well as the computer's predictions for the season. View Predictions from last year.

If you enjoy this program, please donate some money for my work.
