The USC loss highlights something to me: It was hard for me to tell what information was being displayed. I totally missed the news on that game (fail) so I saw USC in bold and assumed they'd won and didn't know what the big red box meant.

Maybe I'm just a space cadet and that's not actually confusing, but I found it unintuitive. I'd bold the winner after a game has been played and maybe make a note in smaller type below that the prediction was the other guy. And keep the red box.

Anyway, interesting idea.

My thinking here was Sportsify isn't a place to check scores, it's a place to see who the favorite was - but I've had a few folks share your confusion so I'll probably tweak this.
No, I had no clue what any of it meant either.

I was confused as to why they were bolded when they had the lower score too.
