I will be on Wisconsin. They were about to choke out ND, gave up a kick return, then completely melted.

I am leaning ND against Cincinnati, but ND seems really banged up.

Oregon line appears to be a bit of a trap.

I want to take Arkansas and all those points. But, I am concerned about the QB getting dinged up last game.

Props to the OP for being honest about losses. I've always said you learn more from losses than wins and I can't stand people who only talk about their wins and ignore their losses or spin them or lie about them.

Finally had my first winning week of the season in Week 4 after a horrendous start. Me and others in the modeling community have had a hard time of it and we blame preseason estimates being so difficult to generate this year because of COVID year. With more data in that allows us to phase out the preseason estimates hopefully our models perform better.

Yeah, the Covid year along with craziness of the transfer portal can wreak havoc on any model.

I’m sure mine is affected as well.

Luckily I’m going to hedge on an NFL ML parlay tonight and end up exactly where I started this week $$ wise.

I'm going to monitor the Iowa/Maryland spread over the next day, but I may hit Maryland +3.5... Should have a pretty rocking crowd at night + Iowa hasn't played outside of the state yet. They have a very good defense, but their offense is one of the worst in the country.

Yeah, that KR from Chris Tyree absolutely changed the complexion of that game, especially since it was Wisconsin that went up 13-10 in Q4. Things spiraled from there.

I feel so, so bad for the Wisconsin defense - one of the best in the country, but they have to watch the offense sputter time-and-time again. For those keeping score at home, defense has allowed 35 points this season (11.6 per game) and offense/ST has allowed 28 between a KR TD and three pick 6s.

LSU -3.5

Arky +18.5

I remember a couple years ago Ohio state lost to Indiana and Michigan state beat a ranked Michigan in the same week. The next weekend it was Ohio state -14.5 vs Michigan State. Everyone and their mom took Michigan State….

<====== not this guy, one of my few wins that season. Ohio state won by like 40

Not saying Cincinnati and Georgia will win by 40, but those lines are super fishy for ND and Arkansas.

Could be that KJ Jefferson's knee is not good. I'm staying away from this one until I see something solid on his injury.

Arkansas fronts are too good imo to lay that many points bc KJ Jefferson may be out

Georgia moved ahead of Alabama for the #1 spot in my own computer model and Arkansas is still ranked in the 30s.

That fact that ND is a dog at home against Cincy tells me all I need to know. Bearcats by 10

ND will be a huge teaser play too, so i could definitely seeing Vegas deciding to have Cincinnati win by 10-13

I have Cincinnati winning by 1. They didn't look great against Murray State or Indiana. Living largely off reputation right now. It will be close.

A couple years ago? Indiana hasn't beaten the Buckeyes since 1988
