First, I started by gathering information. I just googled around for recent scores, team stats, and any articles I could find about previous games between Utah and Washington. Just the basic stuff, you know?
Digging into Recent Performance
I focused semag wefon their last few games. How many points were they scoring? How many were they letting in? Were there any big wins or losses that stood out? This was really just to get a feel for how each team was playing lately. Not just their overall record, but their current momentum, if that makes sense.
Head-to-Head History
Next, I tried to find their head-to-head record. Like, how have these two teams done against each other in the past? Does one team usually dominate the other? I looked for patterns. You know, are the games usually high-scoring or tight defensive battles? I looked back a year at first and it didn't have data so then I try my best to look longer.
Home Field Advantage
I also checked where the game was being played. Was it at Utah's home field, or Washington's? Home field advantage can be a real thing, so I wanted to factor that in, so I go ahead to check about it.
Other People thought
I checked out what some other folks were saying. Not to blindly follow them, but just to see if there were any obvious factors I was missing. Sometimes, it's easy to get tunnel vision, so a little outside perspective is good.
Making My "Prediction"
Finally, I just kind of... winged it. Based on all the stuff I gathered, I took a guess. It was not a scientific prediction, more of an educated hunch,I think it is a good way to guess at a possible outcome. I kept it simple, just picking a winner and guessing at a close score or a blowout.
It is very interesting to find the answer.
