Cortana Picks Saints to Beat GB
 

Microsoft Cortana had a solid Week 7, correctly predicting 11 of 15 NFL games.

It's now 69-37 (65%) on the year.

Cortana is a Windows Phone virtual assistant that's using an algorithm from Bing Predicts to pick every NFL game. The system correctly predicted 15 of 16 World Cup knockout stage games. After a so-so start to the NFL season, Cortana is 35-10 (78%) in the last three weeks.


Week 7 was another strong week for favorites across the board. Even though there were some high profile upsets (the Seahawks and Chargers both lost), Cortana went 11-4, Vegas favorites went 11-4, and Nate Silver's ELO model went 10-5.

On the season, Vegas favorites have a straight-up record of 70-36 and ELO is 74-32.

I hope so. Would be a huge win and continue our home streak. If we could just win the next two and hit the three game home stretch at .500, we might just be OK overall.
On the plus side, if the Packers end our home streak, we still have 4 division games left. Still a lot to play out.

I hope the mall is correct. It makes the drive back to Texas a lot easier.

Crazy things happen in the NFL. Personally, I think they're in line for another Cowboys type beat down. The defense can't handle Rodgers. But, I'll be watching and hoping for a miracle.

Ingram should have a huge game. Their interior defense is weak. Also we should run at Clay Mathews side. He can get lost.

We need Ingram to go off. We need Ingram to put up Demarco Murray type numbers. I think he's capable. I think he's our only chance.

Ok so i'm going to go with this.

Beating the Packers at home would not be a miracle.
