Game Predictions | March Madness 2019

The tables below provide our predictions for all games in the 2019 NCAA Tournament. The tables will be updated after each round of the tournament, with new games/predictions added as they become available. A brief description of how to interpret the predictions is provided above each table, and a summary of the historical accuracy of each model is provided at the end of the post.

Win Probability & Spread Predictions

Win Probabilities – For each game, “Team1 Win Prob” represents our model’s probability that Team1 (the better-seeded team) wins the game. Probabilities below 50 indicate that Team2 is more likely to win the game.

Spreads – The “284 Spread” is our model’s prediction of how many points Team1 will win by. For both Vegas and 284 Spreads, negative values indicate Team1 is favored, while positives indicate Team2 is favored. The “Team1 Cover Prob” is our model’s probability that Team1 covers the Vegas Spread (a Cover Prob below 50 indicates that Team2 is more likely to cover than Team1). Note that our 284 Spread and Cover Prob models are generated separately, so there will be games where they disagree (e.g., one predicts Team1 covers and the other predicts Team2 covers).

Total Predictions

The Vegas Total can be compared to our “284 Total” (our model’s prediction of how many points will be scored in the game) as well as our “Over Prob” (our model’s probability that the game goes over the Vegas Total). An Over Prob below 50 indicates that an Under is more likely. Note that our 284 Total and Over Prob models are generated separately, so there will be games where they disagree (e.g., one predicts over and the other predicts under):
