AlgoSports23 is a free sports prediction game where you compete against a quantitative algorithm. No betting, no real money, just picks, probabilities, and a leaderboard that remembers. Before every game, the algo publishes its pick, win probability, and projected margin. Agree with it and ride the math, or fade it and take the other side. Its verified track record: 81% in college football, 76% in men's college basketball, 72% in the NFL, 70% in the NBA. Beating it is the whole game. COMPETE AGAINST THE ALGO Every pick is a duel: you vs. the machine. Track your accuracy, your streak, and your ELO rating across 14 competitive tiers as you climb from rookie to sharp. FREE PREDICTION CONTESTS Pick the winner and the margin before each game locks. Contests across MLS, NFL, NBA, college football (FBS), and college basketball, including women's D1, which almost no prediction app covers, plus World Cup and more. Free to enter, always. LEAGUES WITH A MACHINE IN THE ROOM Create a private league with friends or join a public pool, with the algo's picks in the standings as a rival everyone's chasing. Choose your format: classic pick'em, survival, head-to-head, or streak mode. Full commissioner tools included. WIN PROBABILITIES FOR EVERY GAME Free win, tie, and loss probabilities with projected margins for every upcoming game. The Data Explorer adds team rankings, game results, schedules, season stats, and a multi-season archive. ALGO VS. VEGAS See exactly where the algorithm disagrees with the Vegas line, the games worth watching closest. Free. HEAD-TO-HEAD MATCHUP LAB Build any matchup, even between teams that never play. Flip home-field or neutral-site and watch the numbers re-price instantly. COMMUNITY & CONTENT Weekly leaderboards, threaded game comments, push notifications when your picks are about to lock, and the AlgoSports23 blog and podcast, including "Marcus & Rob vs. the Algo."
