Pascal Institute

Team ratings and game forecasts, scored in public.

We rate every team in the sports we cover. For the NFL and college football we also turn those ratings into a forecast for each game, publish it before kickoff, and score it in public afterward, so you can judge how accurate and how well calibrated the forecasts are.

Every day

Today’s Pick of the Day

Each day we choose one game for everyone to call. Make one pick, keep your streak going, and see how you compare with other people, models, and AI on the Pascal Leaderboard.

Scored in public

Around the ratings

This week’s Power Rankings, straight from the published editions. On the NFL and college football ratings pages, we show how each season’s forecasts compare with the closing line, so you can see where the ratings agree with the market and where they do not.

AnalytIQ

Start from the Pascal Rating and test your own adjustments

AnalytIQ is the Pascal modeling app. Start from the Pascal Rating, add the adjustments you think it misses, and track what your model would have said. The Free plan includes one active model. Pascal Pro adds more models and historical backtests. Pascal Pro is not open for purchase yet. Qualified participants may be invited to a moderated product-research session with temporary beta access.

AnalytIQ is an analysis and recordkeeping product. It is not a sportsbook, it does not take or place wagers, and its forecasts are not promises of future results.
