NHL Predictions: February 9

Detroit Red Wings versus New York Islanders

Both clubs are battling in the middle of their divisions and are nearly even (+12 to +11 edge to the Islanders) on the Power Ranking Indicator. Detroit is “burning hot” while the Islanders are “average”, although both teams are playing nearly .500 hockey over the past ten game. Detroit won the first one as a road dog. I think New York wont lose two in a row to the Red Wings at home, taking this one by a goal.

NBA Predictions: February 9

New Orleans Pelicans versus Philadelphia 76ers

Both teams are eighth in their respective conferences and are relatively evenly matched on the oscillators. The 76ers hold a +16 to +12 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and “average” to “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Pelicans won the first meeting as a home favorite, but the 76ers will likely be a favorite at home this time. Given that the 76ers are tied for 9th in Team Volatility, I like Philadelphia in a game decided by six points or less.

NBA Predictions: February 2

Atlanta Hawks versus Boston Celtics

Although Boston still leads in the Atlantic Division, they have played relatively poorly over their last ten. This is indicated by their “dead” status on the Team Strength Oscillator and their +4 rating on the Power Ranking Indicator. Atlanta is also fairly poorly of late, with an “ice cold down” status and +5 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Boston has won the first two this season as road favorites. It’s hard to envision them losing at home, so go with the Celtics, as they will pull away in the fourth quarter.

Los Angeles Lakers versus ...

Super Bowl Prediction

Philadelphia Eagles versus New England Patriots

In a rematch of Super Bowl XXXIX in which the Patriots defeated the Eagles, 24-21, this is a much more even match than many initially saw it. Both teams finished 13-3. The Patriots scored 458 points and allowed 296, while the Eagles scored 457 and allowed 295. On the oscillators, New England holds a slight +30 to +29 advantage, while the Eagles are +7.78 to +7.11 on the Team Strength Oscillator. Both teams are in the top ten in Team Volatility. The Patriots have an obvious edge at quarterback, although Nick Foles played excellent ...

NHL Predictions: January 25

Nashville Predators versus New Jersey Devils

Both teams are battling for the top spot in their respective divisions, however are moving in opposite directions. Nashville is “burning hot” while the Devils are “ice cold down”. There is a big advantage for the Predators on the Power Ranking Indicator at +30 to +16. On the flip side, the Devils have won the last two meeting between the teams. Nashville is tied for seventh in Team Volatility and have been solid on the road. While New Jersey is likely a home favorite, I’m going with the hot hand and picking Nashville.
