I don't want to get too deep into the weeds, but try running a cross-validated model or a lasso regression to fix your overfit.

I tried running both of those trails, but I still can't fit into my old pants.

Thanks for the advice. Is this something you do for your career? I'm in my first semester in a Business Analytics grad program, so I'm still pretty inexperienced with this, but I was really playing around with these numbers to see what I could learn about them. Any advice/constructive criticism is very much appreciated!

A fair bit, yes. I also do a bunch of it in grad school as well.

You're building a predictive model, so what you want to do is test the accuracy of the forward looking predictions, hence the CV suggestion.

It certainly explains a great deal of why you won last night.
