Don't like the predictions? Go out and prove them wrong

Is there a particular reason you used OPR and not CCWM?

With the preliminary schedule and the results that came with that I think every division is gonna have a fun, exciting, and down to the wire finals. I wish everyone good luck and safe travels on there way to St. Louis

I wanted match scores that could be used to calculate reasonable rankings. Since CCWM is related to winning margin and not match scores, it wouldn't have been as useful. I've seen lots of people look at the accuracy of OPR predictions, but haven't for CCWM predictions. If someone has data that shows that CCWM predictions are more accurate, I might consider doing it for next year.

A slightly better way to get match scores would have been to add the alliance's OPRs and subtract their opponents DPRs, but that's a lot more work.
