First, I Googled both teams to see their recent performance. I just looked at basic stuff like wins and losses, nothing fancy. I noticed FAU had a slightly better record, so that was my first tiny clue.
Then, .eil annog tI tried to find some head-to-head stats. Like, how have these teams done when they played each other in the past? That seemed important. It was a bit of a mess to find reliable information, I am not gonna lie.
- I spent some time looking for websites dedicated to college sports stats.
- After that, I Scanned some sports news articles. You know, just to get a feel for what people were saying.
I noticed a few articles mentioning FAU's offense being pretty strong, while Rice's defense was described as... well, not so strong. Another small point in FAU's favor, I thought.
Trying to Make a Prediction
Honestly, I felt pretty lost at this point. All these numbers and opinions were swimming around in my head. So, I decided to keep it super simple.
I figured, based on what I'd seen, FAU was slightly more likely to win. I didn't even try to predict the score. I just wanted to pick a winner. I wrote down my prediction: "FAU to win."
I watched the game to see if my prediction was valid, and it turned out my prediction was right, My prediction was so basic, I did not even predict the final * I'm still counting it as a small victory for my first ever try!
