Hi Neil, are you calculating the ELO ratings yourself or pulling them from another source?

Calculating them myself. (I should put the full game list on GitHub...)

Excellent, thanks for that service! Please leave the end-of-regular season ELO ratings up for a bit when they come so I can add them to the 538 all-time database--they provide the seedings for my Stratomatic tournament!!

Possibly! Just something that was tough to pull back together from semi-scratch on the fly when everything at 538 fell apart in the middle of the 2023 season. Doing a daily update of the non-pitcher adjusted version was a lot more feasible under those conditions.

I second this notion. The MLB and NBA Prediction pages were part of my daily routine during their respective seasons.

All three of the teams that I like are in the bottom 5. Not my favorite season.

And completely off topic here, the NFL season starts today and I'm really going to miss the 538 contest for picking the winners of each game. That was a lot of fun.

Me too. :( I do hope to revive the NFL rankings in some fashion, whether updating them here like this or a new feature at The Messenger. But the pick-em game itself would be separate from that.
