    Had a small software glitch on times and a couple of games. So I fixed the picks and reuploaded. Maybe my projections will at least steer you away from games that you might otherwise pound the table on. My model is strictly mathematical but I also try to play Vegas against themselves. This is 10+ years in the making... however, it does seem to be finally working or very close.

    I am also taking a different approach to betting. I am choosing to bet multiple games and spread the risk and still attempt to hit a winning weekend. Week 6 ... I believe I will show results. Two things I can not take into account at this moment are injuries and bad weather so be careful.

    What I believe makes my system unique is that it provides a projected score of each team. If you don't like the system picks you can at least look at the math behind the scores for your picks. Maybe the math will give you more confidence or less after you examine the numbers.

    I love systems--- especially anyone using models.

    I am only updating because of that......

    I hope you turn it around and slay it---

    This week you were 9-12 overall

    Broken down--

    3-7 on ATS sides
    2-2 on ML games
    4-3 on Totals

    Total of 9-12.

    Keep after it.

    A Quant ... I appreciate your input... I have concluded based on my past years and current year experience that spread bets should not be made until at least week 6 of the season. There is too big of a disparity in the first few weeks of college ball because some of the games are all over the map. They begin to normalize around there. Truth is that Week 7 is probably a better time to start. I am not changing my projected totals at all but I am trying to find out the sweet spot in betting.

    So this week I have run the system with two different betting parameters... but the same projected scores. I am trying to see if it is better to bet a wider or lesser amount of games.

    For instance... I changed my Under Parameter from -11.5 to -9.5... which means if my projected score is less than 9.5 versus the Vegas total bet the under.

    At -11.5 it chooses far less games.

    Dave
