Only 25-7 on the year? That's pathetic. Since this is your first post in any of the betting threads this year, you need to be posting at least 80% winners.

I myself am 31-2 on the year. Don't worry about asking for proof, since you provided none either.

I'm going hard at Illinois -7.

I was going to start a thread with this, but I'll put it in here.

Any of you stat nerds/gambling fans ever try to create a chart to help you pick games during the college football season? I drank way too much coffee yesterday and couldn’t shut off the brain last night and started messing around with some statistics to help pick games.

I included these 8 items, ranked each one nationally, then created a weighted average. The heavy weight on roster talent was due to a correlation analysis I did one winning % and roster talent in previous seasons. The ones that change will be updated weekly. I intentionally left out record/win % and any game statistics against Division 2 opponents.

30% weight - Roster Talent Rank (from 247 composite)
10% weight - Returning Offensive Production % (from last season)
10% weight - Returning Defensive Production % (from last season)
10% weight - Offensive Yards Per Play (updated weekly)
10% weight - Defensive Yards Per Play (updated weekly)
10% weight - Points Scored Per Game (updated weekly)
10% weight - Points Allowed Per Game (updated weekly)
10% weight - Strength of Schedule (updated weekly)

I also have two columns that show % of time each team covers the spread this season (updated weekly) and covers the Over (updated weekly)

This allows me to not only create my own ranking of teams, but more importantly compare their respective offensive and defensive units so I can better predict scores against each other.

Here is the top 10 so far if you’re curious

1.LSU
2.Alabama
3.Oregon
4.Clemson
5.Ohio State
6.Georgia
7.Wisconsin
8.Florida
9.USC
10.Baylor


Any statistics you can think of that I should include that I left out?


ETA:

TL:DR -- Basically I just compiled stats to use it to filter by two teams playing each other to see how they match up with each other on both sides of the ball and see how both teams are doing ATS and against the over.

Might want to factor in turnover margin, the few predictive football models I have looked at weighs turnovers very heavily

Rankings now...LSU got bumped from the top spot


Alabama
LSU
Oregon
Clemson
Ohio State
Georgia
Wisconsin
Baylor
Michigan St
Penn State

But I agree, ability to create turnovers is a good predictor of winner, especially if all else is fairly even.

Houston +9.5
BC -11.5 First half
NC St -6.5
Wake -2 first half
Ok St -13.5

Last week went 8/8 with a lot of parlays/teasers with LSU OSU, Auburn and UCF

Best week I've ever had. Hit really big... usually I lose.

Then of course sunday the Lions kill my winning streak

I was hoping the guy would come back and show us his winners but he just switched to posting in other betting threads.

Betting for the first time this season. I got BC -20 and UNC ML tonight.

Does anyone use Jeff Sagarin’s ranking when handicapping or looking at lines to play?

Bama under 61.5-
USc will not be scoring as bama will be a boa constrictor on this poor lads first real start

Iowa state +1
these games are usually close.. Ames gets gameday for the first time

Charlotte -20 over god awful Umass

I check them out. I like to subtract the two ratings of the team and give the home team +3 to see where it compares to the line.
