How the number is built

The model rates every FBS team on efficiency adjusted for opponent quality, predicts a score, and converts it to a spread. Subscriber picks are the filtered subset of those predictions — the games where the model's edge meets pattern criteria that have historically outperformed the raw model.

Published performance covers Week 8, 2025 through the end of the 2025 season. Results are posted before kickoff and graded once the game finishes.
