College Football Bettors

This isn't really about any games this weekend so I didn't add this to the CFB week 7 thread.

Anybody pay for picks at teamrankings.com?

A lot of the info on that site is free, but they obviously want to sell you their picks. I'm not really interested in buying picks usually, but I found something that caught my attention while looking around over there. If you look at the point spreads link to the left hand side of the page and click on that it will bring you to their picks for the year, sorted by week. To the right they have three algorithm formulas they use to help them decide teams called; similar teams, decision tree, and power ratings. You can scroll over each one for a brief description if interested. Apparently you get a green check or red X depending on if the numbers produced by algorithm favor their pick or not.

So I went through and looked at only games where all 3 were green checks. Their record on those picks is:

week 1 3-0
week 2 7-0
week 3 6-1
week 4 3-1
week 5 1-1
week 6 6-1

YTD 26-4

That is pretty ridiculous, and they haven't had a losing week. Overall their picks aren't great, 142-145-2 if you picked every game. I tried to look at 2013 to see how the three green check system would have worked but I can't figure out how to pull up that part. It's just showing me their overall records.

I guess I'm going to keep an eye on it going forward and if they keep winning I may pay for a month and see how I can do. If anybody is a member there I would be interested in any teams they have all 3 green checks by for this week.
