Wow- I would guess 35 is about the mean here! Maybe we're smarter than Vegas!
I predicted 35 - 37. Does that make me the smartest of all!?!?!?!?!

Nope, being on the same page with Nate Silver does not make you the smartest. Silver also predicted that Joe Biden would win the presidency, and Rand Paul and Ron Johnson are telling me that Trump won ;-) .
After seeing the 538 polls/predictions prior to the election and the actual result of the election (specifically how much closer it was than projected) I fully expect the Wolves to win significantly fewer than 35 games now. That prediction has me pretty comfortable with my 26 prediction now.

Well, if their error of 9 games is on the other side, my 44 is looking pretty damn good! :)
Didn't 538 give Trump a much higher chance to win than most pollsters in 2016? And didn't they simply assign a specific percentage for each candidate to win in 2020... and... then explain that it was conceivable that either candidate would win... and then... the results showed that the candidate 538 said had a better chance to win...
... actually won?
I guess I'm confused why that site is now the whipping boy.

I can clarify for you - Trump definitely won and it wasn't all that close. The question is will it matter?

I am not a big Trump character fan, but I can get behind what he is trying, and what he has had to endure. I cannot wrap my head around those who support Biden. I mean Harris.
