Sports Lab

How accurate can a public, locked, graded sports model be?

What it is

Sports Lab issues picks across the major sports and grades every one of them in public. Each prediction is a model suggestion, published before the game with the lab's running accuracy grade beside it, never a guarantee.

Picks lock before the first game of each sport's slate. Where a sport's model is still basic, the method is labeled honestly on the board; the locks, tiers, and public audit apply either way. The record is the product.

How the desk works

Locks before first game, confidence tiers on every pick, and a public grade on every result. Suggestions only, no guarantees.
