This is best for win totals and I use it for a pool that im in. I would definitely not use this for picking single games, but if you wanted to ( which I don’t recommend betting your own money on this and if you lose it’s not my fault ) it likes a few of theseDoes it work ? Throw your Dog a bone and give me a lock or 2, this week
It's on me to place a bet and trust me, I want make a bet unless I agree with you. So in other words, I will never blame you, I'll blame myself. But it doesn't matter, we are going 4 - 0, plus I may parlay 3 of 4 after I go review all 4 winners and their opponents.This is best for win totals and I use it for a pool that im in.

I agree. The analytical algorithms are almost always garbage until well in to the season when enough data is available. By that time, they don’t provide anything more than what the eyes can tell you.Preseason rankings are always silly but it feels like they’re extra silly for analytical systems. Do they have analytics on freshmen and transfers that they can somehow apply before the season?
No, I have not. But the rankings early on use elo ratings from the previous season (Heupel's and Pruitt's teams look a bit different, don't they?) and some factor in predictive talent infusions from recruiting services who have not watched all of the thousands of kids play that they are ranking. It's why you look at a win prediction in September and see that you have a 20% chance for a particular game, but by the time November rolls around you have an 80% chance of winning. If these predictive forecasts were performing outstandingly, particularly in the early season, you would see article after article with mounds of statistical supporting data touting the accuracy of these models.You watch all 358 teams play?
