Statistically, these are the teams that have an edge against the line this weekend:
Tonight:
South Florida
Colorado State (and under)
Saturday:
Wisconsin (and over)
Pittsburgh U
Ohio State
Duke
Colorado
Kansas State
Boston College
Miami Ohio
NC State
LSU
San Jose State
Most of these are small advantages based on statistics. This is just number crunching - definitely not enough of a reason to pick any of these teams, but a factor to consider.
First of all - I misspoke and should have said "edge against the spread."
quick rundown:
South Florida - Lost
Colorado State - Won (under won)
Wisconsin - Lost (over lost)
Pittburgh - Won
Ohio State - Won
Duke - Won
Colorado - Won
Kansas - Won
Boston College - Won
Miami Ohio - won
NC State - Lost
LSU - Lost
San Jose - Pending
7-4 and one pending (not counting the O/U's)
Other observations:
Bad picks - Penn State, Florida, Purdue, Tennessee, TX Tech, Memphis, Fresno State, NC State Under 41 - probably more.
Lessons learned:
Free picks suck, and if a free pick sucks, then the service probably does. You can't trust anyone else's picks - unless you would pick them yourself (Example: Nevada -3). The only exception I have seen to this is Kevin Kavich at Gamebreaker.
Popular picks usually suck also.
In conclusion: I am sticking to my picks - they work for me.
