Last week was awful 5-9-1. It started well and most of the night games looked good for a half until the dam broke. This week has to be better. I will also use the Sagarin predictions this week to provide added context and see if my rationale is validated.
Last week was interesting but not very successful at 7-7-1. Vegas lines were accurate with many half point hooks at 7.5 or 14.5 snagging people. Let’s see if 3 weeks of data starts to answer more questions, but after perusing the available lines I do not see a lot of meat on the bones for this week.
Stats from Football Outsiders S&P
Last week was much better at 10-4. I learned many things from week one, but with all of the hurricane cancellations we still are lacking sample size to use meaningful statistics. Some familiar patterns are emerging. Statistics are from Football Outsiders S&P.
Week one is over and we’re moving on to week two’s 15-team parlay with Dr. Senkbeil. How did your predictions do?
Heres a little note from Dr. Senkbeil himself!
OUCH! What an awful first week of picks. 6 – 11 is the worst I have ever performed, but many weird things happened, like aTm vs. UCLA and Howard with the largest point spread upset in history. Something was in the air. Many of the lines in the games I picked tilted even farther in the direction of my pick before game time.
