The Model
A margin-and-total model run against the whole 2026 slate, then compared with what the books actually posted. It calls 72.2% of games straight up in backtest — 70.7% for an Elo baseline.
Louisville’s Games
How the model’s last call landed, and where it stands on the next one.
The Slate
Every game the model priced this week. “Book” restates the posted line for whoever the model likes, so the two numbers read straight across — a negative one means the book has the model’s pick as the underdog. The bar shows the gap between them, ticked at the line.
Lines come from CollegeFootballData, not from the model file. 2 of 56 games are marked “line corrected”: the model file shipped a total that disagreed with the book by more than a point, and the book’s number is the one used here.
