Hopefully you had as much success predicting outcomes as Oracle did, or for that matter any of the other six predictive methods displayed at the end of this post; if yes, then at the bare minimum you were 11-4 for Week 7 of the 2017 NFL season. So, we’ll go ahead and get that dirt […]

Good news, bad news. The good news is that Week 6 of the 2017 NFL season had plenty of highs for those of you that saw your team pull out a victory, or if you had success predicting the outcomes of each game. The bad news is that, if you aren’t a fan of any […]

“Winter is coming here.” It may have taken longer than we may have liked, but it’s finally getting cold – thank you, Texas. Unfortunately, that cold has extended over to the NFL Oracle. A week after posting a 12-4 record, NFL Oracle experienced a setback, going 9-6 during week 13. Some of these games were […]

It looks like the holidays came for NFL Oracle, too, as it went 12-4 during week 12, its best mark in several weeks. As always, we try to justify those incorrect picks and show you how close NFL Oracle was to having a perfect record for the week. On that note, with exception to the […]

Call it another successful week for NFL Oracle, as it went 9-5 with its predictions. The silver lining for those five incorrect picks is that all of those games had confidence levels in the 50th percentile, indicating closer match-ups.

Week 10 of the 2016 NFL season was one of the best ones NFL Oracle has seen in a while, posting a 10-4 record. Making matters even better is that the four incorrect picks made by NFL Oracle had a confidence range from 53-63%, indicating games that were generally expected to be closer. On the […]

Well, the trend continues for the NFL Oracle…for week 9 of this season, NFL Oracle posted a not-so-bright record of 6-7. Now, we’re going to try and justify these results, and explain to you why we think NFL Oracle could have reasonably gone 8-5 this week.

Didn’t we say something about decaf coffee last week? Yeah, so about that…week 8 of the 2016 NFL season was “ehh” for NFL Oracle. Although it ended up going a respectable 8-5, this year did not compare to the past success during week 8. From 2012-15, NFL Oracle had gone 40-16, an incredible 71% success […]

Following a sub-par performance last week, NFL Oracle had a quick turnaround, producing an 8-7 record during week 7 of the 2016 NFL season. As per usual, we like to look at the games NFL Oracle predicted incorrectly, and, in this case, 4 of the 7 incorrect predictions were decided by a touchdown or less. […]

The NFL Oracle has traditionally done pretty well in week 6 of the NFL season, the only “losing record” occurring in 2012, when NFL Oracle went a dismal 4-10.

After a rough week going 6-9, NFL Oracle had somewhat of a rebound, going 8-6 during week 5.  As always, nothing is guaranteed in sports, and some of the incorrect predictions by Oracle involved games that were ultimately decided by a handful of points.
