Upset of the Week

Our upset of the week will give you a team that is plus money and still favored to win according to the Aggregate median predictor. This week we had four games we considered, but are putting money on Alabama over Georgia. When the game originally came out a money line bet on Alabama was getting +136. This combined with our predictor giving them a 68.8% chance to win is just too good to pass up. 

Pick: Alabama over UGA +136 68.8%CTW

Other upset candidates:

Washington State over Boise State +270 55% CTW

Washington over Rutgers +114 55% CTW

Fresno State over UNLV +164 50%CTW

Game Picks

Every game that the Aggregate is picking this week is a 90% or higher chance to win. It is abnormal to see this many games with betting lines that the algorithm likes this much. We broke it down into two categories. 100% chance to win meaning the Aggregate thinks there is no chance they lose and 90% chance to win meaning the algorithm thinks their chances are 90% or better to win. So far this season teams are 13-1 (92.9%) with 100% chance to win and 16-2 (88.9%) when the Aggregate sees them as a 90% chance to win.
