Pick a game or event
Choose any game, concert or festival for its forecast: win odds and how close it should be (games), weather during the event (outdoor venues), UV, air quality, crowd, safety and what else is on in town.
How it works
- Win odds: betting-market moneylines with the bookmaker margin removed when ESPN lists them; otherwise the point spread, ESPN's matchup predictor, or season records (log5) plus home-field edge. Tennis picks come from the iPredictSport model.
- Competitiveness: 100 is a coin flip, 0 a foregone conclusion.
- Weather: Open-Meteo hourly forecast for the game window (about 3 hours), with UV index and US AQI. Indoor venues skip weather scoring.
- Crowd: reported attendance when available; otherwise estimated from level, league, matchup, weekend and nearby events.
- Local events: concerts, festivals, fairs and parades within 40 km on game day, plus other games in the same city and public holidays.
- Grouping: playoffs and tournaments first (ESPN's postseason flags and game notes), then local teams at home and away (teams based within about 100 miles of your area), then NFL, NBA, college football, college basketball, MLB and NHL, and other leagues.
- Search: type a team, artist, venue or city; add a category (“concerts”, “festival”, “NFL”) or a day (“tonight”, “tomorrow”, “saturday”). Small typos are forgiven.
- Concerts and festivals: the feed lists dates, not start times, so shows assume 8 pm and festivals noon to 8 pm. Indoor or outdoor is guessed from the venue name.
- Schedules: Veabird Events data (ESPN, Rank One, Mascot Media and school calendars). High school rows without a start time assume 7 pm for football and 4:30 pm otherwise.
