It’s the final week of college football’s regular season, which means rivalries are taking place all over the sport. We have projections for every game taking place this weekend.
My model likes Texas by 4.5 points at Texas A&M, Ohio State by 22 points against Michigan, Notre Dame by 6.5 points at USC, Clemson by 5.5 points against South Carolina and Tennessee by nine points at Vanderbilt among some of the more noteworthy rivalry games.
There’s also one game where my model has a different favorite than the sportsbooks. My model has Baylor by 2.5 points against Kansas even though the Jayhawks are favored by 1.5 points. Kansas is a trendy team after beating Iowa State, BYU and Colorado, but my model hasn’t gotten all the way on board with Kansas yet.
For context on these numbers, the model takes in past performance, returning talent and recruiting rankings. We then compare the model’s projections to the BetMGM lines for extra context.
