I did this the way I was taught in Predictive Analytics class - use a sample and run 80% through the model, then the other 20% through the Score tool.  This gave me the correct teams, but incorrect Predicted Wins, so checked the solution and redid this .  My workflow has the original- I also checked 3 other models and did a model compare before choosing the Regression Model.

This is my first time to challenge predictive tool in Alteryx.

Enjoyed this one - only just started using the predictive tools in Alteryx. 

 

One thing i'm a little unsure of - it feels a bit unintuitive using the teams we are predicting as part of the regression model. I assume they should be excluded?

My solution. I originally used Pearson top 10 but switched to Spearman to check my answers.
