I like analytics because it does hone ones heuristics and helps explain events. That said, even machine learning with in game metrics, pre game print and collected sentiment is only able to predict a little less than 60% of the games. There are a lot of unmeasured factors and randomized luck with a sizable number of games. I have no doubt that this will get better but we are still talking about predicting goals, which is a low frequency event.
