How our computer picks work
Our computer picks come from a model that rates every team on offense and defense, then projects the final score of every game.
- Every score counts. Results from this season and last go into each team's ratings. Recent games count more, and ratings update after every final.
- Opponents matter. Scoring 30 against a top defense counts for more than 30 against a weak one.
- Home field. The model adds the home team's edge, worked out separately for each league.
- Projection vs. the line. The projected score is compared with the current spread and total. The side the projection favors is the pick.
- It keeps learning. Every week the model checks its own projections against the results and fine-tunes itself.
Picks lock at kickoff and are never changed afterwards. Every pick, win or lose, goes into the public record below. Computer picks are projections, not guarantees. Bet responsibly. 21+.
Star ratings. The bigger the gap between our projection and the line, the more stars:
- ★★★★★ Top pick (about the top 10% of our picks)
- ★★★★★ Strong
- ★★★★★ Solid
- ★★★★★ Lean
- ★★★★★ Slight lean
College Football Computer Picks FAQ
What are college football computer picks?
Picks from a model that rates every FBS team on offense and defense from its scores, adjusted for strength of schedule and home field, then projects each game's score against the spread and total.
How accurate are college football computer predictions?
Our record on this page shows every college football pick, graded on the line at kickoff, by star rating and time period. Nothing is left out.
How are college football point spread picks calculated?
The model projects both teams' scores. If it has a team winning by more than the spread (or losing by less), that team is the pick; the bigger the gap, the more stars.
Which college football games do you cover?
Every game with a spread and total on our Bet page, including FBS teams against FCS teams once the model has enough of their games.
Are there computer picks for every bowl game and the playoff?
Yes. Every bowl game and College Football Playoff game with lines gets a pick. Neutral-site games get no home-field edge.
Do your college football picks include projected scores?
Yes. Every game shows the projected score for both teams next to the spread and total picks.
