The FantasyDailies Game Simulator Is Predicting Winners at Nearly 80% in Its First Two Weeks

Two weeks ago we flipped the switch on something we'd been building for a long time: an AI-powered game simulator that plays out every NFL, NBA and NHL game before it happens, right in front of you, and names the winner.

Then we did what we always do. We put every result in the ledger, win or lose, where anyone can see it.

Here's what the ledger says after two weeks:

• NFL: 14-2. That's 88% on winners.
• NBA: 54-14. That's 79% on winners.
• NHL: 48-22. That's 69% on winners.

Average the three leagues together and the simulator is picking the winner 79% of the time. Nearly 80%. Count every game it has called and it's 116 right out of 154, three winners for every four games played. And every one of those 154 games is sitting in the ledger for you to check.

Watch the Simulator Pick a Winner

The best way to understand the simulator is to watch it. Below is Friday night's simulation of Milwaukee at Orlando. Hit play and watch it run.

Can't see the player? Watch the Bucks at Magic simulation here.

Here's what's happening on that screen. Before a game starts, the simulator plays it out many times over, using everything the site knows about both teams. Then it takes the most typical version of that game and plays it out for you, fast: the ball moving up and down the court, the puck flying across the ice, the drives marching down the field. When the horn sounds, the winner is announced on the trophy screen.

Every matchup on FantasyDailies links straight to its own simulation. Pick any game this weekend:

• NFL game simulator: every game on this weekend's slate
• NBA game simulator: every game on tonight's card
• NHL game simulator: every game on the ice tonight

Want to go bigger than one game? Run the whole rest of the year on the NBA season simulator or the NHL season simulator.

Friday's Proof: Bucks at Magic

The simulator played Friday's game out as Orlando 117, Milwaukee 108. Orlando won, and the simulator had the winner.

The rest of our calls on that game went like this:

• Moneyline: Orlando. Won ✔
• Spread: Milwaukee +9.5. Won ✔ (the Bucks kept it inside 10)
• Total: Over 224. Lost ✘

Two out of three on the night, and the loss is printed right next to the wins. That's how the whole ledger works. See the full Bucks-Magic box score and the game page with every call.

The Receipts: Our Ledger, Straight Off the Homepage

Here's the ledger exactly as it looked on the FantasyDailies homepage Friday night. We didn't clean it up.

How to read it:

• 570-368 on the season. That's every moneyline winner we've called across all four leagues.
• 10-4 on Thursday, our most recent full night.
• 64% over the last 30 days. We're getting sharper, not fading.
• 938 calls in all. Every one is a square on that grid: green is a win, red is a loss. Nothing gets erased.

Every League, Every Market

The simulator is the headline, but it isn't the only thing we track. Our AI calls every game three ways: the moneyline, the spread (the run line in baseball, the puck line in hockey) and the total. Here's the whole season:

Where we're hot

• Picking winners, in every sport. Our moneyline calls are at 59% or better in all four leagues.
• NBA moneylines: 142-75, 65%. The best moneyline mark on the board. Tonight's calls are on the NBA picks page.
• NHL: winning in every market. Moneyline, puck line and total are all above .500, and the puck line alone has gone 135-102. See the NHL picks page.
• A strong baseball season in the books. MLB finished 207-141 on the moneyline and 197-154 on the run line. The full season is on the MLB picks page.

Where we're not hiding anything

NFL spreads (49-74) and totals (50-70) are under water this season, and NBA spreads and totals are hovering around even. You can see it in the table, and you can see it on the ledger. We print the bad right next to the good, because a record you can only see when it's winning isn't a record.

It's also why the simulator stands out. In the NFL, the same season that has our spread calls at 40% has the simulator going 14-2 on who actually wins the game.

The Simulator and Our Picks Are Two Different Tools

One thing worth knowing: the simulator and our locked picks won't always agree, and that's by design.

• The simulator plays the game with both rosters healthy. Its result is always "barring injuries."
• Our picks keep moving with injuries, news and line moves right up until they lock 20 minutes before the game. After that they never change, and they're graded the moment the game ends.

When the two line up on the same side, take notice. Live picks for every game are on the NFL, NBA and NHL picks pages for Velvet members. Once a game is final, the pick and its result go public for everyone.

Put It to Work This Weekend

1. Run the simulation. Open the NFL, NBA or NHL simulator, pick a game and watch who comes out on top.
2. Check our call. See if our locked pick agrees on the picks pages.
3. Dig into the players. Line up your props with the AI on the NFL, NBA and NHL player props boards and the NFL, NBA and NHL projections.
4. Build the slip. Take it to the NFL parlay generator, NBA parlay generator or NHL parlay generator. The AI never hands you a leg that fights our own call. For Sunday, the NFL teaser generator is ready too.
5. Get a second opinion. Already built a slip somewhere else? Run it through the Parlay Doctor.

Questions We Keep Getting

How accurate is the FantasyDailies game simulator?
In its first two weeks it's 14-2 in the NFL, 54-14 in the NBA and 48-22 in the NHL on picking the winner. That's an average of 79% across the three leagues and 116 of 154 games overall. Every result is on the ledger.

Which sports does it cover?
The NFL, NBA and NHL right now. The MLB simulator comes back with baseball in the spring.

Does it account for injuries?
No. The simulator plays every game with healthy rosters, so check the injury report before you lean on it. Our locked picks do factor in injuries and news.

Can I really see every loss?
Yes. Every call we've ever made is on the ledger, win or lose. Nothing gets deleted.

How do I watch a simulation?
Tap "Simulate" on any game on the site, or open the NFL, NBA or NHL simulator directly. Everyone gets a few simulations a day, and a Velvet seat opens up the rest.
