What this tells us
My model is more bullish on Auburn than the market. It projects Auburn to win by a larger margin and assigns the team a higher win probability than the market's line reflects. That divergence is what my system is built to flag.
The model's side at the current line. It isn't a bet. I only bet a small share of the model's picks.
Weather at kickoff
It’s an indoor game, so the weather doesn’t matter.
