Hope this finds you all well. I have been working on getting a formula for both Underdogs and Favorites all weekend and this week, because after last week I felt that I needed to start over with the formula and get this thing back online. So after quite a few hours, I hopefully have something of value over time.
When the season started, I said that I needed 3 or 4 weeks to get enough data to work the formula and that during those "preliminary" weeks of gathering data the record wouldn't count....but I can't do that. I want to provide you all with a 70% winning percentage over the regular season, and that is what I am going to strive to do. With that said, I am dropping the really good weeks that the computer had on Week 1 and 2 with the Underdogs and the Favorites. I will count Week 3, put myself in the hole and work hard for you to get out of it.
So here goes (fingers crossed)
WEEK 4 COMPUTER UNDERDOG SELECTIONS:
RECORD YTD 0-5 (0%)
Bowling Green +25.5 vs Michigan (19-38)
Georgia +1 vs Miss St (17-11)
LA-Lafayette +1.5 vs Middle Tennessee (19-13)
Colorado St. +7 vs Idaho (15-17)
WEEK 4 FAVORITE COMPUTER SELECTIONS:
Record YTD (3-2 60%)
USC -21.5 vs Washington St (42-9)
Missouri -17.5 vs Miami (OH) (40-13)
Marshall -5.5 vs Ohio (15-0)
UCONN -17.5 vs Buffalo (30-0)
S. Florida -27 vs W. Ky (38-0)
Troy - 11.5 vs Arkansas St. (35-14)
Oregon -10.5 vs AZ St. (45-25)
Best of luck to you all this week...and my humblest apologies for the incredibly terrible week last week.
P.S. the added numbers behind the picks are the computers generated "score" for the games......just FYI.
