NFL

2016-24 NFL Best Bets are 469-347-9 (57.5%)

2016-24 NFL Strong Opinions are 345-288-15 (54.5%)

 

2016-24 NFL Best Bets are 469-347-9 (57.5%)  – 241-162-6 on Sides, 164-127-1 on totals, 10-9 1st-half totals, 31-26-2 team totals, 1-2 1st-half team totals, 21-20 teasers, 1-1 season win totals.

2016-24 NFL Strong Opinions are 345-288-15 (54.5%) – 135-125-11 sides, 108-83-2 totals, 2-2 1st-half sides, 8-9 1st-half totals, 23-19-1 Team Totals, 1-2 1st-half team totals, 7-2-1 teasers, 61-46 Post-season prop bets.

 

Closing Line Value

The average closing line value on the NFL Best Bets the last 5 seasons is +2.9%, meaning that playing our games at the release line makes you 2.9% more likely to win each play, on average, than playing them on the closing line, which is also a good indicator of our model.

2016 was the first season using the new play-by-play model. Prior to 2016 my NFL Best Bets were based on situational analysis and my original math model, which performed very well for many years but offered very little value in later years. My NFL Best Bets were 57.8% from 1987 through 1998 but were just 50.6% from 1999 through 2012, which is when I decided to stop handicapping the NFL until I had a better model.

The new play-by-play model was introduced in 2016 with very good results and changes were made to the model starting in week 11 of the 2017 season that improved results.

Improvements to the play-by-play predictive model are made annually as new metrics become available for testing.

College Football

My College Football Best Bets are 1188-973-45 (55.0%) Since 1999, including season win totals, and the Strong Opinions are a profitable 816-706-19. The results have been even better in recent years.

 

2018-2024 College Football Results: 

Best Bets: 285-227-17 (55.7%)
Strong Opinions: 161-136-3 (54.2%)

 

My 2024 College Football Sides and Totals Best Bets were just 37-30-2 for +1.4 Stars and the Strong Opinions were just 20-28-1. The season win totals Best Bets had a rare losing season at 5-7-1 for -5.95 Stars thanks to one Hail Mary pass that led to Jacksonville State beating Louisiana Tech. That unlucky play cost me my 3-Stars Under 7.5 wins (+110) on Jacksonville State and turned a 3-Star win on Louisiana Tech Over 5 wins into a push – turning a decent 7-6 record into 5-7-1 and costing me 9.3 Stars – the most (by far) I’ve ever lost on one play. The luck was pretty even this season, aside from the 9.3 Stars that that Hail Mary cost me on the Season Win Total Best Bets.

 

My 2023 College Football Best Bets were just 35-33-2 for -9.7 Stars and the Strong Opinions were 23-15.

It was simply an unlucky season with more undeserved/unlucky losses than lucky wins.

The Best Bets are -13.6 Stars on the undeserved wins and losses tally (just 2 undeserved/lucky wins against 4 undeserved losses and an undeserved push). Both lucky wins were been 1-Star Best Bets for a +4.2 Stars swing (+2 Stars instead of -2.2 Stars) but losing (or pushing) Best Bets because of turnovers in games we surely otherwise would have won easily cost us 17.8 Stars (-8.8 Stars instead of +9 Stars).

Those 5 unlucky games were games that without a doubt would have won easily had our teams been just -1 in turnovers. I’m talking about 5 games in which our team outgained their opponents by an average of 159.2 yards, with an average line of -1.2 points, that the stats (with turnovers projected by passes defended differential) projected an average win margin of 17.0 points – yet all 5 failed to win due to being randomly negative in turnovers with one having an onside kick recovered against them that led to the covering score.

I’ve had some lucky seasons over the years too but this season was certainly frustrating, especially after winning 66% of my College Best Bets the year before.

 

My 2022 College Football Best Bets were 40-21-2 (65.5%) for +28.45 Stars and the Strong Opinions were 22-17.

Unlike 2023, we had a good record on close games in 2022, as Best Bets decided by less than 7 points were 12-6-2. It still would have been a great season if I was even on the close games.

The math model worked incredibly well in 2022, as all sides with a predicted difference from the line of 4 points or more were 105-78-3 this past season (57.4%), which includes the games on the Free Analysis page. The record on such sides is 249-187-7 (57.1%) the last two seasons.

 

My 2021 College Football Best Bets were 52-40-2 (57%) and my Strong Opinions were 27-24 for the season.

The Best Bets decided by less than 7 points were 17-17-2, so the luck was even.

The math model worked incredibly well overall in 2021, as all sides with a predicted difference from the line of 4 points or more were 144-109-4 this season (56.9%), which includes the games on the Free Analysis page.

 

My 2018 to 2020 College Football Best Bets were 116-96-8 and the Strong Opinions were 69-52-2.

 

I suffered through a multi-year period from 2014-2017 in which my actual record wasn’t nearly as good as it should have been because I lost most of the toss-up games. From 2015 to 2017 I was a very unlucky 38-58-2 on Best Bets decided by 7 points or fewer (rather than about 50%, as expected) while being a very good 104-67 on Best Bets decided by more than 7 points. And, in 2014 I was -37 in fumble margin on my Best Bet sides, which is by far the worst fumble luck I’ve had in 33 years (fumbles are 90% random).

Some may have thought that the 2014-2017 seasons were an indication that my model didn’t work as well as it used to work, but my math model has actually continued to be very good overall (all predictions that varied from the line by 4 points or more were 647-554-32) and it’s just random that I had four consecutive seasons of negative variance on my Best Bets (one in fumble margin and three in toss-up games) – although my Best Bets sides were still a profitable 117-100-3 from 2015-2017 despite the bad luck on close games. I have had my share of positive variance seasons too, which led to very high win percentages and a lot of profit, and the negative variance from 2014 to 2017 was inevitable at some point over a nearly 4 decade career – and was unlikely to continue.

Since 2018 the College Football Best Bets are 285-227-17 (55.7%) while the Strong Opinions have been 161-136-3 (54.2%).

College Basketball

The College Basketball Plays are a profitable +529.1 Stars the last 27 seasons, including +234.0 Stars of profit the last 7 seasons (+120.1 Stars the last 3 Seasons).

New Matchup Model

Starting with the 2020-21 season the College Basketball plays were based on a new model that tested incredibly well (832-636-29 for 56.7%) over the previous 4 seasons. The model was tested on seasons not used to derive the model to avoid back-fitting.

The first five seasons using that predictive matchup model produced good results on Best Bets (1614-1350-42, 54.5%) despite being an unlucky 14-34-3 on games decided by overtime (instead of 33-15-3 on those games had they been graded at the end of regulation) and winning only 47.7% of the close games (225-247-42 on Best Bets decided by less than 3 points) instead of the 50% expected in the long run.

Had we won 50% of the close games and had those games altered due to OT (i.e. dogs not covering) produce the results they would have in regulation then we’d have been 55.5% winners the last five seasons, which is incredibly good in Basketball. The new model has won despite the bad luck – particularly in the last three seasons (+88.95 Stars on Best Bets) and I expect even better results in the future.

The Opinions, which I recommend playing for 0.5 Stars each, are 1272-1069-36 (54.3%) for +96.1 Stars in five seasons with the new model.

The 2024-25 College Basketball Plays resulted in +32.35 Stars, as Best Bets were 505-446-8 for +11.7 Stars and the Opinions (0.5 Stars) were 368-297-8 for +20.65 Stars. It was a profitable season despite being an extremely unlucky 6-16-1 for -11.45 Stars on Best Bets decided due to overtime (instead of 16-6-1 for +9.4 Stars had those games been graded at the end of regulation), which is a swing of -20.85 Stars.

The 2023-24 College Basketball Plays resulted in +36.85 Stars, as Best Bets were 292-229-7 for +37.35 Stars and the Opinions (0.5 Stars) were 252-230-9 for -0.5 Stars. The season would have been even better if not for being 0-5 for -5.5 Stars on Best Bets decided due to overtime (instead of 4-0-1 for +4 Stars had those games been graded at the end of regulation), which is a swing of -9.5 Stars.

The 2022-23 College Basketball Plays resulted in +50.8 Stars, as Best Bets were 302-240-10 (55.7%) for +39.9 Stars while the Opinions (0.5 Stars) were 288-242-7 (54.3%) for +10.9 Stars. We had neutral luck in OT games.

The College Basketball Best Bets have been profitable with the new matchup model despite the bad luck and I expect the results to be even better going forward without the negative variance on close games and OT games.

NBA

My NBA Best Bets were profitable over my career as a public handicapper but I longer handicap the NBA. However, I also had an NBA only handicapper in the NBA Guru, who had an outstanding track record in his 11 seasons with Dr. Bob Sports. The NBA Guru has a Best Bet record of 1369-1142-39 on Best Bets for +232.15 Stars in 11 seasons with Dr. Bob Sports. The NBA Guru has since moved on and I no longer have an NBA product.
