Over 2429 games our win chance scored a log loss of 0.683 (lower is better; a coin flip scores 0.693, the home-win rate 0.692). That is better than both a coin flip and always using the home-win rate.
The side we favored won 55.5% of games (1349 of 2429).

Win chances come from a team-strength model that is level with the closing market in our 2025 backtest (0.6783 vs 0.6758, gap not significant). It does not beat the market.
