What is ESPN Forecast?
Our new engine for creating more accurate sports predictions and opinion.

Does it work?
Yes. For the past five years, ESPN's NBA Summer Forecast series has produced the most accurate predictions in the game.

And for two years running, our #NBArank feature has been based on the ESPN Forecast approach to generating state-of-the-art information and opinion.

This is the future of forecasting, as demonstrated by the 2012 presidential election and Fortune 500 companies.

How does it work?
Our approach, in a nutshell, is to create a diverse panel of people with NBA expertise and then aggregate their predictions and opinions. For ESPN Forecast, we have a panel of more than 200 members who collectively possess vast NBA experience, knowledge and perspective.

There must be some serious synergy to get this kind of buy-in to this outside the box solution. There are lots of moving parts, which allows them to empower their corporate values to create scalable means to pick the low-hanging fruit and leverage best-practices.

Otherwise, a lot of bullshite with little substance in order to self-promote.
