There are 57 Division 1 matchups for Week 5. Updates have been made to include statistics from Week 1-4. The 30-19-3 record against the spread last week showed the significance of getting a few weeks of solid statistics. Vegas will start to really dial in as well. I have noticed that the Vegas handicappers lock in their picks early in the week before the lines start to move. In the past weeks, I have been getting the best available line Friday afternoon to use for my Vegas line to beat. This week I will get the best available line starting at 11AM on Tuesday. If the line moves to the College Football Game Picker advantage, I will adjust it. Otherwise, I will leave it the same. This will give me a better idea of how we are doing each week versus the Vegas handicappers. I will say, we beat the Vegas handicappers socks off last week!!
The team highlighted in green is the team predicted to cover the spread listed. I will lock down the picks and Vegas spreads Friday at 5PM to get a better gauge on the percentage correct each week. The game picker will be used in tandem with the intangibles to generate green picks this week.
