2026 SEASON

Game Predictions

Every posted 2026 game, predicted from the preseason ratings. Confidence tiers come from how the model actually performed on those same margins in 2025.

We label toss-ups before the game, not after. Games projected inside a one-score margin are genuinely close to a coin flip: in 2025 our smallest-margin picks won just 61% of the time, and 16% of all Missouri games were decided by 7 points or less. Calling those honestly up front matters more than protecting a percentage. Each tier below shows how often that tier actually won last season.
