Looks like the computer is still a bit off eh 4d20? :noidea: :whistle:

At least you only had 8 confidence on BSU, but I think a lot of people who were taking Boise changed their picks after they learned Southwick was sent home and there would be a backup starting for them. Hell, I moved my pick of Oregon State from 3 to 23 confidence points just because of that.

Just the way it goes. I knew some of the picks, like Boise St, were bad before the game yesterday, but I just enter in the computer picks anyway and leave them because I am curious how it does against humans.

Bowl games are a mixed bag. It's got a leg up because it has all the data to go by from the course of the year. But then on the other hand it's a time when players get suspended, players suddenly get healthy, coaches leave, prep time before the game. That combined with teams that are generally pretty close makes it difficult for the computer, leaving bowl games usually in the 60-70% range.

Even when it picks the winners, some of these games it only has someone winning by like 1-3 points. So it's not like it's a huge vote of confidence even then. The only loss that really came as a big surprise thus far was Buffalo losing to SDSU. I had 23 confidence points on that one(I rank confidence based on the predicted spread).

But it's never gone 1-5. :smash:

Hopefully it's due or something, or it could be a record low year on picks.

Only two I lost were WSU, which was my own fault for not remembering they are the cougs for a reason... and I blew the tulane game. Both were close losses I guess.
