Tech Cocktail: What is StatSims?
StatSims: StatSims (@statsims) is the first community-driven NFL football prediction site. There are several other game forecasters, but what makes StatSims a wholly unique experience is that we are opening up our 29-year-old SimEngine™ (which is already as accurate as the number one company in the space) to the crowd. This is a large plus because no single analyst can consistently be as accurate as a crowd, we can provide a whole new level of predictions: help fantasy players get the most points from their fantasy team, help fans win their office pools, and even win against the spread. Another benefit? StatSims users create valuable content for media outlets.
