Well I went 2-2 on day 1. Which is pretty much the worst case scenario. Going 50/50 is the last thing I want to do. If I go 0-4 at least I can say hey, just pick all the opposites and its perfect.

The good news is if you bet all 4 of the picks it chose, you wouldve come out a winner because they were all dogs.

Today the algorithm selected a favorite for the first time. ECU is a 14 point favorite according to what Ive seen. The algorithm predicts them as a double digit favorite and gives them a 60% chance to cover a 14 point spread. So I guess it's pretty encouraging that this pick lines up so well with the lines.

So if you have to bet on this one, take ECU and the points. But I really wouldnt. The line seems to be right on. ECU to win for sure though. No doubt.

Those two statements don't jive if you trust your system.

My system says that ECU will win by ~15 points

I do my picks using a simulator I wrote. It has done pretty well historically, but the last couple years it has fallen off. It's due for a tune-up, but I guess I will start posting my picks in your threads, if you don't mind. I will have to wait till I get home to see the actual predicted spread, but I know I have ECU winning, but by less than 14.
