Preparing the matchup model…
Loading the latest scored weekend and coverage status. Probabilities are estimates; upsets and large score errors remain possible.
Every week. Every known matchup.
Projected winners, scores and totals for the season’s schedule.
| Matchup | Expected score | Projected winner | Win chance | Total points | Result / pick |
|---|
Scores follow the team order shown and are expected averages, not exact-score promises. Current forecasts use the tested home-field adjustment for verified MHSAA home-team listings. Unknown venues receive no adjustment. Dates are Friday weekend labels; exact kickoff times are unavailable. A model total is the sum of the projected scores.
Historical picks are reconstructed from earlier game weekends in the current archive. They are not a saved pregame record and can change with source corrections. Forfeits, unresolved scores and results under review are excluded from the weekly accuracy. Even picks receive half credit. Low-sample picks include a team with fewer than three rated games that season.
Current forecasts refresh with verified updates. Monday editions preserve the published picks while later scores update the grades. There is no connected live score feed. Playoff games appear when the matchups are added.
THE UNDERDOG WATCH
Who could shake up the week?
Five featured upset chances, ranked by the underdog’s model win probability.
How we choose the alerts
We feature up to five underdogs with a 25–48% estimated win chance, ordered from highest to lowest. Each team needs at least three rated games. The underdog must also trail in projected points. Even matchups, low-sample forecasts, forfeits, disputed scores and unresolved opponents are excluded. Division filters include games with either school in that division.
The list uses that week’s forecasts, not today’s rankings or which underdogs eventually won. Final scores only label the selected games. Locked Monday editions preserve their forecasts; reconstructed weeks are retrospective estimates, not a saved pregame alert board. Current forecasts refresh with verified updates. Playoff alerts appear when matchups and predictions are available.

Higher is better; a higher schedule rating means tougher opponents. Records include forfeits; performance ratings exclude them.

11-player brackets have 80 possible points; 8-player brackets have 64. Complete one division to compete in that division. Saved unfinished brackets appear as in progress. Completing all 10 is only required for the overall competition. Overall score is the average of your percentage of possible points across all 10 divisions. First tiebreaker: most correctly picked state champions. Any remaining tie earns shared honors.
Results are graded against published playoff finals. A pick earns points when that team wins the corresponding bracket game. Eliminated teams cannot earn later points. Model contest picks freeze when official entries open; matchup odds can update as new results arrive.
The brackets follow the official MHSAA playoff pairings. This is an independent 4th & Forecast challenge.
