Exactly my thought. The best way to predict the match is to play it.

Consider this: in 2010, 469, 1114, and their third partner (I forget who it was) were favored so heavily to win Championship that very few people would have predicted them not winning. Predictions would probably have showed them winning. That was before Murphy's Law struck that alliance with a vengeance on Einstein--things just started failing for no apparent reason, and they did not win the Championship.


That said, this year OPR was supposed to be fairly good at predicting the outcomes. Some years it is, some years it isn't.
