Simple Linear Regression NFL Point Spreads – 2007
Background • Las Vegas Bookmakers provide a point spread for each game • The spread reflects how many points the home team “gets” from the visiting team (negative values mean the home team “gives” points to visitor) • If bookmakers are accurate, on average the actual difference should equal prediction • Accurate ? How variable ?
Testing accuracy in mean • H0: b0 = 0, b1 = 1 • HA: b0≠ 0 and/or b1≠ 1 • Fit Model UnDer H0: Y*=X • Obtain error sum of squares under Y* • Compare with error sum of squares from full model (HA).
