You can manually pick every game now using my software.

But the problem with that approach is that the number of scenarios is huge. Ignoring ties in future games, there are


65,536 scenarios with one week remaining
4,294,967,296 scenarios with two weeks remaining
281,474,976,710,656 scenarios with three weeks remaining
and approximately 18,446,744,073,709,600,000 scenarios with four weeks remaining.

But even if you were to look at only a few number of scenarios that are interesting to you, Yahoo doesn't do the tiebreakers right (at least they didn't last year). If it gets to a tie it can't figure out, it just flips a coin to break the tie.
