Service Note: I have decided to cut back on my work to spend more time with my two young kids (9 and 7) and help out my wife, who has been incredibly understanding of my 110+ hour work weeks. I will not be handicapping College Football this year.
I will only be handicapping the NFL, which has been the best win percentage sport over the last 10 years (57.6% on Best Bets and 54.9% on Strong Opinions (0.5 Unit plays).
My College Football Best Bets are 2535-2077-96 (55.0%) on a Star Basis, including season win totals, and the Strong Opinions (0.5 Star plays) are a profitable 837-720-19 since 1999
2018-2025 College Football Results:
Best Bets: 326-261-19 (55.5%) – 55.1% over 38 Years
Strong Opinions: 184-152-3 (54.8%)

2025 College Season Recap
The 2025 College Best Bets were 41-34-2 for +8.45 Stars and the Strong Opinions were 23-16 for +2.55 Stars (0.5 Stars each on the Strong Opinions) for a total profit at +11.0 Stars.
I was a bit unlucky, as I had 2 undeserved Best Bet losses (for a swing of -6.3 Stars) against just 1 undeserved Best Bet win (a swing of +2.1 Stars). I was 6-7 on Best Bets that were graded as toss-up games with the 6 wins being for +9 Stars and the 7 losses being for -11.3 Stars. I’ve had some good seasons when the luck was on my side but this season it was against me for -6.5 Stars.
Still, it was a solid season with all plays being 64-50-2 for 56.1% winners.

The Free Analysis page Leans are now 1101-913-38 all-time.
The Leans were just 81-80-3 for the 2025 season.
For the season the record on all sides is 274-274-6 ATS, including 61-60-3 on Leans, and the record on all totals this season is 307-276-1 with the specified Leans being 20-20.
The record on all Free Analysis sides is now 3416-3200-116 ATS since 2013, which is very good picking nearly every game over 13 years. The Free Analysis sides in which my predicted margin was 4 points or more away from the line (i.e Leans) are a profitable 1008-853-37.
Totals on the Free pages are now 3261-3060-62 in the 12 seasons I’ve been tracking them. Starting in 2022 I have chosen selected Leans on totals and those are now 93-61-1 in 3-plus seasons.
