Week 15 - Championship Week

The Stream's performance this year summarized in one gif:


Some interesting games on the slate this weekend.  How will Ohio State's offense look without JT Barrett?  Will Oregon look to make a statement after getting embarrassed by Arizona the last two years?  Should the line in the SEC title game really be 14.5 points?

Check back on Thursday.

If 46% is your worst season you are doing something right! You do bowls as well?

Out of curiosity, any idea the amount by which you beat the closing line on average? Or average amount by which you covered/failed to cover?

You know it. Bowl picks will be posted when all of the postseason games are determined.

My winning %s have not only varied from year to year but within each season. Once the linesmakers learn more about the teams, my estimated variance for any particular game declines. This why I post more picks in September and less at the end of the season. I haven't figured out a way to measure the average distance between a prediction and the actual result because I don't track closing lines, but I'm intrigued and may start doing that next season.

Last week was another 3-1 week with the only loss being the Lock of the Week (Oregon State +20). One bad week and 4 solid weeks in recent picks. Last 5 weeks are now (in order):

3-1
3-1
0-4
2-1
3-1

Getting HOT again. Looking to get into the green by season’s end and take this hot streak into the 2015 season.
