A.I. perfectly predicted last year's Super Bowl score. What happens to betting?

Competitive sports are ultimately numbers games. Whether it's a gymnast racking up points on a balance beam, a tennis player acing her opponent, or a football team scoring on a last second Hail Mary, all matches are won and lost by numbers. There are upsets, comebacks, and situations when the losing team still seems to outperform the other -- but, even then, victory distills into digits. As such, it's obvious that many sports lend themselves nicely to the type of mathematical analyses that let keen-eyed statisticians predict outcomes -- maybe even exact scores -- just by crunching a bunch of numbers. After all, that's the basis of sports betting, and it's helped baseball managers craft winning teams on a tight budget just by considering little more than batting average, runs batted in, and stolen bases.
