Our long national nightmare is over

And don't get me wrong, I love the Euro tournament and absolutely adore the Open Cup, but after a long break it's great to be back in MLS action, even if I'm stuck away in the godforsake hell hole the is middle New Jersey. But none of that matters. What matters is... numbers. Are numbers, I guess, if we're trying to stay with good grammar. And we are.

Here's how we're looking for this weekends MLS action, prediction wise, once again with an added confidence factor, because why not.

Team	Result	GD	Confidence
DC	WIN	+1	84.30%
Philadelphia	LOSS	-1	84.30%
Vancouver	WIN	+2	90.68%
Colorado	LOSS	-2	90.68%
Montreal	DRAW	0	79.56%
Seattle	DRAW	0	79.56%
New England	WIN	+2	90.47%
Columbus	LOSS	-2	90.47%
Houston	WIN	+2	99.84%
Dallas	LOSS	-2	99.84%
Kansas City	WIN	+3	100.00%
Toronto	LOSS	-3	100.00%
Salt Lake City	WIN	+1	76.22%
Chivas	LOSS	-1	76.22%
Chicago	DRAW	0	78.67%
New York	DRAW	0	78.67%
Portland	LOSS	-1	78.22%
LA	WIN	+1	78.22%

You know what scares me most? That SKC score line and confidence. The last time I saw something like that was the Montreal game and... well... I don't want to talk about it. Oooo, should we look at how well the model is doing? We shall.

Another correct results bumps the mighty excel spreadsheet up to 59 out of 122, for 48.4% accuracy, with 14 matches picked exactly wrong and 49 results that got screwy because of draws and stuff.

Bottom line, we're edging close to a 50% accuracy rating, which, at this point, I'll take.
