Green Alert Take: It's all pretty silly but this might give you a sense about how much credence you should put in how the prognosticators think things will go
Green Alert Take II: I'd be curious about how the algorithms these service use to work up their numbers because clearly they can't know specific details about every team, but apart from the Dartmouth-Holy Cross barn burner, they got 'em all right. The points were off but the winners were spot on, which is the only thing that matters to most of us.
