Yesterday aside (I think my Celtics are toast), the model is performing above expectations (knock on wood). Remember, however, that the model’s picks are only the result of statistical projections, but against reality – bitch that it is – it is, inevitably, a losing fight. I hope, however, it continues to perform as it has, and that we all make $$$.

That’s 5 straight-up losses in a row!
It’s one thing to lose against-the-spread, but picking game winners is something the model should, at the least, be able to do reliably. That’s especially true of the playoffs, when all the data and trends are available, and players are supposed to be playing at their peak performance levels. The numbers should be a reliable basis for accurate projections, but it’s not working out that way. Prior to the last few days, the model did have a good run, and probabilistically speaking, a regression was inevitable – but it flat out fell off a cliff, which is downright bizarre.
Anyway, proceed with caution.

Sweep!
