Score Predictor: Famous Sports Scores Quiz

Test your sports memory by predicting the final score of legendary matches across soccer, NFL, and NBA history.

You remember who won. But do you remember the score? Score Predictor pulls up a famous match, gives you the teams, the competition, the date and a hint, and asks for the exact final score.

It's a memory test disguised as a prediction game, and the difference between glory and 50 points is usually one goal you forgot about.

Score Predictor walkthrough: Brazil versus Germany, 2014

Predicting a big Germany win

Suppose the card shows Brazil against Germany, World Cup semifinal, 2014. You remember Germany humiliated the hosts, so you lock in 1-5.

Landing in the smallest right result tier

The reveal says 1-7. You called the winner and Brazil's goal exactly, but being 2 off on Germany's tally drops you out of the 700 tier and out of the 400 tier too, since both scores need to be close. Right result, 200 points, and a fun fact about the strangest half in World Cup history.

Expecting tight scores in famous upsets

Famous upsets are usually tight. Blowouts are famous precisely because they're rare.

Reading the hint for the shape of the score

The hint often nods at the drama, like a comeback or a shootout, which hints at the shape of the score.

Nailing the winner before the numbers

Nail the winner first. That alone is the difference between 200 and 50.
