    Projecting NCAAF Total Wins

    the following are win probabilites for each game of a NCAAF team converted from spread (team is Iowa)

    99.5%
    70.34
    70.34
    95
    36.86
    66.42
    85.14
    77.36
    63.14
    57.44
    66.42
    27.02

    = 8.15 wins

    correct?

    total is 7.5 (O -135/U +105)

    I lean over

    Odds from Win Total Line of Iowa winning more than 7.5 games are 57.4% (-135)

    Now how to calculate the edge?

    Is .65 games over the Total worth laying -135?

    There's also Over 8 +150

    If you're expected win percentages are accurate, then yes, everything you've calculated thus far is correct.

    I calculate, based on your win percentages, that the chances of Iowa winning over 7.5 games is 66.69%.

    You're right, the over is the right side, based on the odds offered, if your win percentages are accurate. With the odds you're being offered, I calculate your edge to be 16.04% by betting the over on this market.
