NFL + College FBS

Football

NFL + college FBS spreads and totals from a matchup-exploitation model: every unit is percentiled within its league, strong units are matched against weak opposing units (with an offensive-line layer and game-time weather), and the projection is anchored 65% to the de-vigged market. Picks are paper-only until they show positive closing-line value vs the sharp close. Records are always broken out by league and market — never blended.
