PROGRAM AND VERSION
-------------------
NFL Forecaster 2.0w
CATEGORIES
----------
football, gambling, sports, games, betting, predictions,
database
SHORT DESCRIPTION
-----------------
Forecaster predicts the winners and point spreads of NFL
games based upon rankings computed from game scores only.
LONG DESCRIPTION
----------------
Using only scores, NFL Forecaster assigns rankings to each
NFL team and uses these to predict winners and point
spreads. Only 10 minutes a week are needed to enter the
scores. Forecaster displays and prints team, division, and
category rankings, spreads and the schedule using any font
of any size or style. It maintains 8 categories of
statistics. The on-line help contains the entire manual
which is extensively indexed. It is easily customized and
includes a complete install program. Forecaster attempts to
predict winners and spreads for all games, not just '5-star
specials" or Monday Night games. Over the past nine seasons,
it has correctly predicted winners 62% of the time and
spreads 55% of the time (better than most handicappers and
odds-makers) and only 6.5% of games have been too close to
call.
