Statistical Predictions
Has anyone run predictive statistical models (a la Nate Silver) to predict later season competitions based on earlier results successfully?

I attempted to build a simple model that predicted Curie based on summing for each alliance each team's best Event OPR from earlier in the season. It scored 21/81 based on Thursday's matches. You'd be better off taking the opposite of my model by a long shot!
