The Composite is looking to rebound after an expected dip in Week 5, but the model is holding strong.
Hello darkness my old friend, variance came for me again. We mentioned that it might at the end of the intro to Week 5 (our first positive week) and it most certainly did. Not in a big way, but the composite did finish 11 games under .500.
We’re middle of the road when compared to some other notable models (lines quoted against the composite may differ from the ones we use).
Our composite does not use home field advantage this year and that interestingly paid dividends in a small sample size of straight up games with Andrew Percival’s Metric Consensus.
And so we soldier on through the season hoping the odds return to our favor.
Last week: 25-36-0 (41%)
Season: 121-142-3 (46%)

The process behind the picks is briefly explained in my Week 1 column. Most of the time, the computer spits out something within one or two points of the real line (and at that point, sharp plays and whale plays are what’s moving the line anyway). But if the computer gives something more than three points, it’s worth a second look.
