Only one of the four favourites won this week, and WoSHBODS, having gone favourite-heavy - usually not a bad strategy in Finals - therefore tipped just 1 winner. It also recorded a Margin MAE of 28.2 points per game and a Totals MAE of 11 points per game. That took it to a season long 71% accuracy, 18.9 Margin MAE, and 18.6 Totals MAE.
