Welcome back in another short week for the GCR and college football. It’s a Tuesday night in October which means Conference USA is getting a head start on the rest of Division I again this week. FIU (2-5/132) is hosting Sam Houston (5-2/68) kicking off a few minutes ago. There’s no score so far with 11:01 to go in the first. At 8:00 (all times Eastern), UTEP (1-6/122) invades LA Tech (2-4/130).
…..
Before we jump into this week’s games to watch and predictions, let’s see how the GCR fared last week. Just picking the winners (straight up or SU), the numbers are slowly improving, as expected. The GCR has no pre-season biases so as more games are played, the predictions get better. That said, for the FBS games SU, we were 38-20 (.655) raising the year-to-date to 177-100 (.639). For the FCS games, 34-17 (.667) raised the year-to-date to 161-86 (.652). Progress, I guess. Still not what I’d like to see, but we all have to admit this has been a wild and weird season. Choosing who will cover the Vegas line (seen as TEAM-XX.X) or Against the Spread (ATS) is always a little tougher. In this line of betting, we don’t care who gets the W. For example, let’s say Team A has a Vegas Line of -5.5 (is favored to win by 5.5 points). Some people bet on Team A minus 5.5 points and some bet on Team B plus 5.5 points. Scenario 1) Team A wins 24-17. The “adjusted” score is 18.5-17 meaning Team A would win even is the points were removed. Those that bet on Team A would win. Scenario 2) Team A wins 21-17. The “adjusted” score is 16.5-17 meaning Team B would have won is the spread was removed. Those that bet on Team B would win. While SU, the GCR has a goal of 72.5%, ATS the goal is 58%. Last week, we were down a little with just 31-25 (.534), driven by a paltry 2-6 (.333) in the Big 12. For the year, we are 114-97 (.540) so we still have a lot of work to do. Only FBS games have lines on the website at the time I publish, so no FCS games are included at this point.
…..
Both games are now underway and scoreless. SHOU/FIU just starting the 2nd quarter and UTEP/LATC 13:31 in the first.
…..
There are a number of pre-Saturday games, I’m interested in, but one has potential playoff considerations. In the Mountain West, Boise St (5-1/29) travels to Sin City to play UNLV (6-1/30) at 10:30 on Friday. Both team’s single losses came to Core 4 teams by 3 points: BOST to Oregon (7-0/3) and UNLV to Syracuse (5-1/25). When the Broncos have the ball, they bring an OER (Offensive Efficiency Rating) of 152 (11th in the nation). That means they score 15.2 points for every 10.0 points their opponents normally allow. They will face a Rebels DER (Defensive Efficiency Rating) of 112 (94th) meaning UNLV gives up 10.0 points for every 11.2 points their opponents normally score. When the Rebels have the pigskin, an OER of 143 (22nd) facing a Boise St DER of 112 (93rd). I see a lot of points in this game. Vegas has the over/under (a bet on the total number of points scored by both teams) at 65.5. The also have BOST-3.0. The GCR disagrees and has UNLV taking this game 54% of the time and to cover.
…..
The early game is still scoreless 9:51 in the half, but UTEP takes an early 7-0 lead with 6:45 in the first.
…..
The early games on Saturday have some good options, but the Game of the Week is being played in East Rutherford, NJ when Notre Dame (6-1/11) and Navy (6-0/15) clash. Most years, and with all due respect to Navy, this game is not one to watch. This year, both Army (7-0/9) and Navy are undefeated this late for the first time since WWII. Both teams play the Irish this season which adds even more intrigue. ND, not being part of a conference, has the toughest road for a Core 4 level team to reach the playoffs. No championship game. A weaker than average Strength of Schedule (SOS). Even if they ended the season 12-0 and AP-ranked #1, the best seed they could get is 5th (the top 4 are reserved for the highest rated conference champions). When the Irish have the ball, a better than average OER of 139 (29th) will face a mediocre Navy DER of 118 (75th). When the Midshipmen are in control, an OER of 146 (19th) will try to penetrate a Notre Dame DER of 218 (5th). Vegas has ND-12.5, but the GCR sees it as a 50/50 jump ball. I cannot pick a winner (the GCR point spread is 0), but that means I’m picking Navy to cover.
…..
No scoring change in either game.
…..
At 3:30, Illinois (6-1/19) fresh off a victory over Michigan (4-3/48) has to head west to face Oregon (7-0/3). The top of the Big Ten is tight and crowded and as the inevitable head-to-head games are coming up, the cream will rise. When the Illini carry the brick, a mediocre OER of 115 (78th) will face an elite Oregon DER of 175 (10th). The Ducks bring a solid OER of 138 (33rd) against an Illinois DER of 139 (43rd). Vegas sees this game as a blowout ORE-21.5, and the GCR agrees ORE 56%, but Illinois will cover.
…..
At the 2:00 timeout, Sam Houston has 3rd and goal at the FIU 5 to try to break the 0-0 tie. UTEP and LA Tech are still 7-0 UTEP going to the 2nd quarter.
…..
Going into the last weekend in October, there are no perfect SEC teams left. In fact, only 2 teams are perfect in the conference. As luck would have it, LSU (6-1/20) travels to College Station to take on Texas A&M (6-1/16). A&M is in first place with a 4-0 vs a 3-0 record, but one will drop after this week. This would have been the game of the week, but Navy is undefeated against Notre Dame, who can’t afford another loss, so, it’s second. When the Tigers have the ball, an OER of 160 (7th) takes on an A&M DER of 164 (18th). When the Aggies attack, an OER of 142 (25th) drives against an LSU DER of 136 (33rd). Will the winner make the SEC championship game? This game wouldn’t hurt. Vegas TAM-2.5 and the GCR agrees TAM 54% and to cover.
…..
A goalline stand by FIU maintains the inept offenses as the score remains 0-0 with 1:11 to go in the half. UTEP is still leading by 7.
…..
