For those who pooh-pooh Sagarin

His purely score based mathematical model (predictor) said this should be a 10.5 point game. 11 is pretty close to 10.5.
If you watch over time, it's both amazing and comforting that a completely unemotional mathematical model can pretty consistently get it very close to correct.
And as we know, pollsters often vote popularity and/or name recognition, not reality.

Yes, I've been amazed sometimes at how close it comes.
