Yep — w/ ties

That not how ties are normally done. If you have two tied for 6 then

You're complaining because I provided more information?

That number five is one reason why

3 of the games listed were season openers

You've found a way to strike it rich and forget the SL Trib forever!
a priori

I think the best approach is to avoid betting at all on openers

Sounds like you're leaving money on the table.

I think there's a pretty good chance that the variance of actual vs predicted spreads is greater for openers

I'd have to do more work for week 1, but there is no statistical difference in

No difference in mean or variance of absolute error when comparing games in

If you really believe this, then you should go and make millions.

Because they are without compelling data doesn’t mean

So, your initial post was agnostic to the direction of the error?
a priori

No, it seems you are reading into it something for the sake of arguing

Speaking for the board collectively in your direction,

Collectively?

ANd that one was exaggerated based on prior year for BYU

Sad, only 5 wins when the line is 10+ for the opponent.

A 10 point spread roughly equates to a 20% win probability, so you wouldn't expect a lot of them.
Indy Coug

Has BYU played more or less than 25 such games? If its more than we also should
MikeDitka'sStache
10/23/19 9:33am
Well, a 10 point spread is 20% win probability. A 23.5 point spread is a lot lower than that

There's two ways to be a big underdog.

New Mexico in 2005? Interesting. UNM ended as a 6-5 team, BYU ended as a 6-6

BYU was only a 4.5 favorite. It wouldn't make the list.
