How we generate our NFL predictions

Our NFL predictions come from two dedicated machine learning models built specifically to forecast NFL outcomes. 

So what is a machine learning model? In simple terms, it learns patterns from historical data rather than relying on a fixed set of rules. We train our models on historical NFL data so they can identify relationships between different factors and game outcomes, then apply what they've learned to new matchups.

You can measure data. You can't measure a hunch. That's important for NFL betting. No model can predict the future with certainty, but a data-driven approach can be tested, measured, and refined over time.

Our models evaluate more than 100 data points for every matchup, including team form, power rankings, quarterback performance, efficiency, pace, rest, travel, venue, and game-specific variables. They learn how those factors relate to different outcomes rather than treating every input equally. 

What makes our NFL prediction models different?

We build our NFL pregame predictions in-house. Four things set them apart:

  • Power rankings built for prediction: Our tailor-made power rankings go beyond wins, losses, and raw past performance, accounting for factors such as opponent quality and quarterback context.
  • A better understanding of quarterbacks: The model considers the quarterback expected to play, including whether they represent an upgrade or downgrade from recent games, with an improved approach to rookie quarterbacks.
  • Garbage-time adjustments: Offensive and defensive efficiency metrics are adjusted for garbage-time situations, reducing the influence of play after the competitive outcome has been decided.
  • Different models for different outcomes: Our two models use the same underlying information differently, one for the expected margin between the two teams and one for the expected combined points. Those outputs power our moneyline, against the spread, and total predictions.

Why trust our NFL prediction models?

Our approach to NFL pregame predictions combines machine learning, extensive data, and rigorous testing.

  • Built and refined in-house: Our data scientists and sports experts design, build, test, and refine the NFL pregame model in-house throughout the offseason.
  • More than 100 data points per prediction: Rather than treating every piece of information equally, our models learn how different factors relate to the specific outcome being predicted.
  • Extensively tested: We tested thousands of modeling approaches before selecting the final two, then backtested them against historical games. Dimers Pro members can track how those models are performing now in NFL Sweet Spots.
