Alright, let’s talk about what I did today. I’ve been trying to figure out this whole basketball prediction thing, specifically for Norfolk State. It’s trickier than it looks, you know? Not just throwing darts at a board.
So, first thing I did was start digging into their recent games. Found out Norfolk State’s been on a bit of a rough patch, losing their last three games. They’re sitting at 6 wins and 6 losses overall. I also looked at their upcoming game against Alabama State Hornets, who are 4-6. It seems that Alabama State just snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over UT Martin.
Then, I scoured the internet for any predictions about this game. Most places seem to think Norfolk State will win, but it’ll be close. I saw a predicted score of 79-73 floating around. Also found out some people are betting on Norfolk State. Oh, and I checked out some predictions for other games, like the one against Hofstra Pride and Baylor Bears. Seems like people are pretty interested in Norfolk State’s games.
After that, I wanted to see what the betting folks were saying. Turns out, Norfolk State is the favorite in this game against Alabama State. The odds are like -213 for Norfolk State, which basically means you gotta bet 213 bucks to win 100. Alabama State is the underdog at +176, so if you bet 100 on them and they win, you get 176 bucks.
- Looked at recent games: Norfolk State is 6-6, losing their last three. Alabama State is 4-6, just broke a losing streak.
- Checked predictions: Most say Norfolk State will win, but it’ll be close. Saw a 79-73 score prediction.
- Checked betting odds: Norfolk State is the favorite (-213), Alabama State is the underdog (+176).
Lastly, I stumbled upon a prediction for a game between Norfolk State and Northern Kentucky. The model or whatever they use thinks Norfolk State has a 51% chance of winning that one.
My Prediction
So, after all this, I put on my thinking cap and tried to come up with my own prediction. Considering everything, I’m leaning towards Norfolk State winning, but not by a lot. I’m thinking something like 75-70. I figured, hey, they’re probably itching to break that losing streak, and they’re playing at home, so that’s gotta count for something, right?
Anyway, that’s my little adventure in basketball predictions for today. It was a fun little project, even if I’m not totally sure I got it right. We’ll see how the game goes!
