2015: 15-16-1 -0.46u... I've been treading water since a good 1st weekend.

Already placed:
1) Missouri -2 -110

I had a 3u bet placed on Rice +13 but it was cancelled because BOL put out an improper line.

I've seen Clemson at -5.5


As soon as that becomes available for me it's a very large single for me

Really?

LSU is a muffed punt and a non called block in the back from winning by 3 TD's against Florida.

If it gets below 14, I'm LSU all the way.

I get it, but I try to look at anomalies. That muffed punt giving a team the ball at the 10 yard line isn't going to happen again. Just like returned punts for TD's are a rarity.

Florida was rated a TD worse than LSU, while WKU is rated 2 TD's worse? I just don't buy it. Anything south of 14, and I'm on LSU.

No you're right. That shite happens all the time and should not be weighted differently than regular stats and information. Carry on.........

Its a model play. Preseason ratings were dropped from my model today so its now straight 2015 results, so I am tailing my model a lot harder starting this week

My most accurate prediction method says LSU wins by 1

My percentage method has WKU covering 68.5% of the time

Predictions across my 3 methods:

Simple Computer: LSU 40, WKU 32
50 Most Similar Matchups: LSU 35, WKU 34
1000 Simulations: LSU 27, WKU 19 (WKU covers the 14.5 spread 68.5% of the time, wins 28.9% of the time)

And a fake field goal, a few inches of sideline on a fumble recovery and a dropped TD in the end zone from losing to them. You can't just move it one way.

Western Kentucky is very good.
