    Feel like Michigan/Texas is similar to UF/UM last week

    If you think Michigan covers, may as well throw something on the moneyline as a close game favors them and likely ends with a Michigan outright win

    Meanwhile, if Texas wins, it's probably by a couple scores

    Either the Michigan defense balls out, forces a few short fields, and Michigan wins a 21-17 game. Or they have to play too many snaps due to a lackluster O and eventually Texas pulls away something like 27-17

    I don't see a lot of middle ground here

    likely doing a SGP involving:

    U 52.5
    Ravens +7.5
    Pacheco 40+ rushing yards
    and some reasonable passing prop

    Pretty clear that Vegas has no idea who is going to be getting the Lionshare of the ball in Buffalo and I think it allows an opportunity to make some money this weekend. Especially given the they play Arizona, who doesn’t have a particularly strong defense on paper.

    The site I use now has the game stream built into the live betting page lol. It's only about 2-3 seconds behind yttv. Idk if I'll ever need to use it but laughed at it being added.

    benchmarks:

    50.1% - ok at least I'm better than a coin

    52.4% - ok at least I'd make a dollar betting these. If I refine a bit I'd make some nice side income

    55% - I can make this a career

    I don't think KSU covers though. I expect a tight game throughout

    I may well be a moron, but how do I read this? All of CB’s picks are the favorites. Or do you just compare your projected scores vs the spread

    Currently he has implied moneyline, which you can compare to the real moneyline. He hasn't modeled against the spread yet (just a mean score) I don't think

    My picks are indeed all favorites

    The top is showing the games and probability of outcomes based on the win probability assigned to each game. So for instance, through 5 games the most likely correct number of picks straight up would be 4. The most likely outcome for the week would be 8-2

    The bottom shows the assigned win probability and the vegas style odds that represents. You also have what I expect in terms of score; I think Kansas State wins straight up l, but based on a score of 27-20, I would take the points with Tulane

    It's something I screwed around with building and it may not be as intuitive as I want and might need to go back to the drawing board on

    Yeah your data is good but my biggest caution on building it out is to ignore the natural impulse to believe that if you project a score to be 31-17 that it also means that -13.5 wins more than 50% of the time

    If I would have bet on all 16 games the payout was like $2.5 million. But 16 for 16 seemed a little unlikely .

    Plus betting on the titans always bites me in the ass.
