Below are my Calculated Lines versus Actual Lines, it comes from a computer program that I developed 4 years ago and looks to find the most valued undergogs or, in other words, lines that are juiced up a little. These games are usually ones in which the favorite might be a public favorite in betting terms. In a lot of instances you will have to put good money on a bad team but in a spot where the bad teams are undervalued. This is my first time going public with this in the 4 years that I have been tinkering with it. Each year it has gotten stronger.

Houston at E.C.U.
Actual Line(AL): Opened at HOU-4 now -2
Calculated Line(CL): Hou -2.02 thru ECU -2.54 (AVG. ECU -0.03)
When the variation of the CL shows both teams as potential FAVS it becomes a NO PLAY, but it is a LEAN on ECU because of the Average CL.

WVU at Miami
AL: Mia-27
CL: Mia-18.35 thru 23.60 (Avg. Mia -21.12)
PLAY ON WVU (line is off apprx 3.5-9.5 points, avg off 6

Oregon at Utah
AL: Ore -3
CL: Ore -2.03 thru -6.07 (avg -4.31)
NO PLAY-fair line thru 6

Vir Tech at Rutgers
AL: VT -25
CL: VT -21.08 thru -24.07 (avg -23.32)
NO PLAY

Maryland vs Clemson
AL: Mar -7
CL: Clemson -2.51 thru Mary -3.63 (avg Mary -1.41)
No Play(variation), Lean on Clemson

Wisconsin at Penn St
AL: Wi -2
CL: WI -0.27 thru -5.66 (avg WI -2.5)
No Play-fair line

Mich St vs Indiana
AL: MSU -15
CL: MSU -7.11 thru -14.69 (avg MSU -12.02)
No Play-slight lean on Dog

Minnesota at NWU
AL: Minn -10
CL: Minn -8.3 thru -13.99 (avg -10.60)
No play-fair line

Virginia at UNC
AL: VU -8
CL: VU -2.77 thru -7.82 (avg -4.97)
No play-slight lean on Dog

Tennessee at Auburn
AL: AUB -2
CL: Tenn -3.24 thru -12.88 (avg tenn -6.84)
PLAY ON TENNESSEE-line is off

I'll skip the next few No Plays and get to the next Play:

Fresno State at Colorado State
AL: CSU -6.5
CL: FSU -0.22 thru -4.9 (avg FSU -2.48)
Play On FSU-line is off

Three Plays so far:
Tennessee +2
Fresno State +6.5
West Virg +27

Leans:
UNC +8
Clemson +7
Indiana +15
East Carolina +2

Please note the strength or weakness of these plays can and will vary as line movement occurs the only play I locked in was Tennessee +2 yesterday because I knew where that was going. The benefit is to wait to the last possible minute to wagers on Plays in order to get a feel for the strength of the play.


Last weeks winners:

Rice
New Mex St
Arizona
Indiana
Wake
UNC
Texas Tech
Northwestern
LSU-rare favorite

Last weeks loser:

Penn State

Last weeks push:

Georgia Tech-rare favorite especially on road.

Of course I'm not applying last weeks results to anything since they weren't posted and I could be bullshitting all of you for all you know. I have been working hard on this for years now and I want to put it to the test. I hate to call it a system because everyone claims to have a system. In 4 years I have had great weeks and so-so weeks but never a bad week. A lot depends on how many dogs are on the board. This week looks to be slim pickens and could actually find some favorites as value plays but I doubt that. Once again, this is a program I have come up with that looks to find Lines that are out of whack, but mostly it's a program that seeks out the favorites that are overvalued. And lastly, we all know that all the number crunching in the world can have no impact on what takes place on the FB field. That's why they play. I just try to put my investments in the best situation for profit.

More to come as I work out all the numbers.
GL,
Mick

ECU +2

ECU +2

Inclined to add ECU +2 because the strongest predicting factor in this program has ECU -0.23 which basically amounts to a Pick Em. And the strength of schedule factor shows ECU has had a stronger schedule by 16.08 to nearly 20 points. Home Field, National TV exposure experience, and Strength of Sched along with ECU being a fair favorite of up to 2.54 points and still they are a home dog based purely on their record. Potentially this line is off by 4.5 points) Makes ECU a small "program play"

Calculated Line Play favors ECU by 0-4.54 points

ECU 55/50

If I decide to play a lean it's always for 50
Regular plays are always for 100

Lean on home dog La Tech

Mich at Iowa
AL: Mich -3
CL: Iowa -0.02 thru Mich -4.49 (avg Mich -2.28)
I try to stay away from Big Ten games lean always on home dog when numbers are tight.

UGA vs Bama
AL: UGA -10.5
CL: UGA -6.12 thru -10.51 (avg -8.21)
Could lean towards Bama, we'll see

That's it for now...looks like a tough week with oddsmakers buckling down a bit. Been killing em with overpriced favorites lately this week it looks like they are on the money so far.

Adding Leans On:
La Tech
Akron
Vandy
UAB
Air Force

Note: the easy part is finding line value the hard part is deciding the best plays to make. More on that later.
