2011 Week 17 Results (End of Regular Season)

The Isaacson-Tarbell Postulate closes out the season with a bang, notching another 75% success rate in predicting game winners. For the season, the ITP predicted the winner correctly in 166 out of 256 games, or 64.8%. That's pretty good for a formula that requires no knowledge except the teams playing, their records, and in some cases the home team. Here's the week's breakdown:
