I would not call it luck. It's the predictor not knowing all the factors influencing the outcome. Calling it luck allows us to take sides, i.e. hate the other team because they were lucky or feel better about our team because they were unlucky. Put another way, it relieves our team of responsibility.

Winning more than 50% of one possession games is said to be lucky. Well, do you also believe that all people perform the same under that pressure?
