Welcome back, oh great and wonderful readers, to episode 740 or a bunch of mid-week games to choose from. We have one game underway already as the Miami OH (3-0/197) look to remain perfect against non-Division I (ND1) foe Mt Vernon. With 1:21 in the first quarter, that desire looks secure 29-10.
…..
Jumping into yesterday’s results, we had mixed success in football with W Michigan winning and covering, Ohio failing to win or cover, and Kent St failing to win, but covering the spread. We start the week 1-2 straight up and 2-1 against the spread. Men’s basketball had 49 predicted games with the GCR correct in 36 (735) of them bringing the season to 58-24 (707). The GCR went 21-3 (875) in predicting women’s games yesterday bringing that record to 64-18 (780). In all of basketball, a 57-16 (781) day gives us a 122-42 (744) mark on the young season.
…..
We have three more MAC games today hoping to pull this dismal prediction season up a bit. Don’t get us wrong, the football chaos has been tremendously exciting – just bad for prediction models. Here is today’s slate.
| Time (ET) | Games of November 11th | Conference | Vegas | GCR | Cover | TV |
| 7:30 | Buffalo (6-3/82) at Ball St (3-6/146) | MAC | BUFF -1.5 | BUFF | BUFF | ESPN2 |
| 7:30 | Sacramento St (2-8/206) at C Michigan (4-5/86) | MAC | CMI -18.5 | CMI | CMI | ESPNU |
| 7:30 | UMASS (5-4/93) at Toledo (7-2/51) | MAC | TOL -14.5 | TOL | TOL | CBS Sports |
…..
We have 67 men’s games today with 42 more predictions. Speaking of predictions, our goal for picking the winner (straight up) in all 3 sports we track is 750. Football, as we mentioned, is woefully short of that mark and basketball is looking good…but it’s early. Most of the games being played at this time of year are not two marquee teams, although some are. There are 3 factors in the algorithms for basketball predictions: how good is each team’s record, how good is each team’s strength of schedule to date (remember all games in the GCR happen “now” – there is no past nor future), and how good is each team’s opponents’ strengths of schedule. How those are calculated are slightly different so, assuming both teams are D1 and have played at least two games, if those two algorithms agree on a winner, we post that winner, otherwise we call it too close and publish NPre (No Prediction). Here is the full slate of men’s games today.

That’s it for this short and sweet episode. Tune in later today for a rare double basketball (both men and women) Evaluation. Normally, we have the Women on Tuesday (games through Monday) and the Men on Wednesday (games through Tuesday), but we had a few coding discrepancies that required debugging. That is now all done and we will double up this week. Thank you for reading, commenting, and sharing with others, JoJo and G.
