Each year we share our score predictions from our models for the first week or so of college football. We start the year with data from last year with some tweaks here and there. As each week goes by we get to add more data.
When we get through 4 weeks, enough games have been played that we can rely solely on data from this season. We do the same for the NFL and college hoops.
Can data from last year be helpful this year? Of course. But you have to do your homework. Check returning talent. Coaching changes, etc.
You can get these scores for just $99 thru the Super Bowl, or they also come with our consensus report.
