Told you so

The lines are up for opening night in NBA and they pretty much confirm what I said about the forecasts from the mathematical model:

• Miami 6 1/2 over Chicago (model said Miami by 5)
• Phoenix 4 1/2 over the Lakers (model said Phoenix by 2)

If the model proves to be able to pick 75 percent of the games to within 2 points all season long, the way it looks like it will do for the betting lines, I may not have to work for a living for much longer.

But I know (or at least I think I know) the way these things will turn out. Thus, I've not yet typed out my resignation.
