Hello all its NUK with my first actual attempt at a system..Wish me luck....
A little history.....
I have been a member of a very casual pick club which consists of 120 members. We pay $20 to make 4 picks a week for 10 weeks and get really nothing out of it but fun (and a pre and post party) because most of us know each other. This club was founded in 1972 and is made up of mostly educators in the area and their friends. I have been in the club for many years but have only been a serious sports better for the past 4 years. We (myself and a friend of mine) have notice (not quick enough I think) that I was passing up a lot of great information on what the JOE PUBLIC plays, as this is the real public.
Through week 7 the 120 people making 4 picks a week: 1565-3360 or about 46%.
The obvious next step was acquiring the weekly plays from each player (after I made mine of course) to find what the "JOE PUBLIC" was on, and of course go opposite. This was done by doing the opposite of every play that was off by 8. I am also tracking the ones off by 5 just for fun and I will post those also. I must also say that I live in the Detroit/ Ann Arbor Area so the local "flavor" might come into play.
Now I know many people do this by using Covers, SBR, EOG etc...., but it can't hurt to try with an actual group of people I know personally. And lets face it every group is different.
So this is the first group of the JOE PUBLIC plays (or anti) that I will post for the next couple weeks and who knows, it may work.. Either way it is fun.
Penn state +3 ( 32-11) (michigan fans still have faith in rich rod???)
Iowa -6.5 (22-2) (everyone loves MSU, me TOOO)
vandy +21 (10-1)
Illinois -17 (11-3)
Nebraska -7 (15-7)
Duke + 13 ( 14-0)
USC + 6.5/7 (23-5)
Wash +7 (12-0)
Mississippi +7 (25-4)
5 or less
EMU +11
Wash +3
