Model accuracy on Knights picks — 2025 season

Our ML ensemble was 55% accurate when predicting Knights match outcomes across the full 2025 NRL season (27 rounds + finals). Below average — higher uncertainty, reduce stakes accordingly.

Key Patterns & Tendencies

  • ✓
    0-3 away from home this season — worst away record in the competition
  • ✓
    On a 3-game losing streak — model projects 28% win probability on the road
  • ✓
    Away losses by an average of 14 points — struggle to stay competitive on the road
  • ✓
    Home form is mixed (2-2) but at least competitive — road form is the issue

Betting Approach for the Knights

  • 📈
    Avoid backing Knights away from home this season — 0-3 away record
  • 📈
    Round 8 at 4 Pines Park vs Sea Eagles is NOT a recommended Knights bet
  • 📈
    If betting Knights, wait for a home game at McDonald Jones Stadium
  • 📈
    Knights +8.5 might offer value as a line bet if the team shows signs of life
