What this tells us

Our model is less bullish on Florida than the market. It projects Florida to win by a smaller margin than the market is pricing in. That divergence between two reads of the same game is what our system is built to flag.

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.
