    Enjoy your model. I can tell you from personal experience that when you see it actually be supported by results there is just an enormous sense of pride that goes with it.

    Good luck with your testing.

    Bufflo -2.5

    Toledo +16


    Bowling Green -3

    Ball State +17

    Rutgers +1


    Cincinnati -9.5

    Akron +4.5


    Indiana +22

    Ole Miss -3.5


    Houston-5

    Stanford+11.5

    Arizona-2

    Fresno St+6.5

    Tx AM+18.5

    UNC+4

    Tx Tech+3.5

    Utah+17.5

    Week 11 results: random sample of 17 games: 7-10

    I believe this model provides little significance with big favorites (14+), while it's accuracy increases with lower spreads.
