One of the keys to beating the Vegas line is to know when a line is inflated in one direction or the other. Even with the inundation of statistics, it still takes a great deal of time each week to gather all of the statistics and compare them to make educated picks. Using 35 years of experience in the software industry, a computer program\/algorithm was written to predict college football games based on the latest statistics and intangibles. Each week the College Football Game Picker is able to identify several games based on statistical mismatches, not obvious to the average fan, where Vegas has under or over valued the line.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 10.5pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The computer program can quickly pull in all of the statistics for two given teams and provide an extremely educated prediction of the outcome. Each week the stats for all 134 Division 1 teams are populated in a database. Some of the statistics used include Power Rankings, Returning Starters, Rush Offense ranking, Pass Offense ranking, Rush Defense ranking, Pass Defense ranking, Strength of Schedule, Against the Spread Average, Recruiting Factor, Coaching Factor, and Home Team Advantage. The ranking of each team\u2019s specific strengths and weaknesses can be used to zero in on how the game should play out. The College Football Game Picker has exceeded the goal to out pick the best handicappers by updating the vast array of data each week and taking into account intangibles such as injuries, suspensions, weather, and trends.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>For a one-time fee of $99, users can get a Season Premium Picks Subscription (includes a full calendar year) and get access to Six Premium Picks each week.<\/b> <strong>Premium Picks can also be purchased on a weekly basis for $19.<\/strong><span style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Open Sans',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.93px; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.28px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"> \u00a0The game picker is usually around 10 games in the positive against the spread for overall picks each week!<\/span><span style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #333333; cursor: text; font-family: -apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"> Get ready to dominate your football pool!
