Rafty’s pre-game predictions for every game on today’s slate, sorted by model confidence within each league. Predictions are computed from points-for vs points-allowed (Pythagorean expected win rate), recent 10-game form, head-to-head history, and a league-specific home-court edge. These are analytical forecasts in the spirit of mock drafts and pick’em — not betting advice. See Rafty’s Nest for the running record and accountability against the actual outcomes.
