It's been a hectic week. Forecasts for the weekend's games will be published just before the deadline, but... This was the first week my model beat @FiveThirtyEight 🥳 So far, my model has had 4% more error than 538's and has a record of 21 - 29 in direct match forecasts.

I'm thinking that the next Figuring Figures Out tutorial should be focused on colors... What do you think? 🤔

@DSamangy In case it helps, I'm building a newsletter and matplotlib tutorials focused on football (soccer) data.
