RoboCap – Selections for 10/24

No good contribution here last week (7-8-1, .467). Bringing the full season to a non-illustrious .533 (56-49-2). Examining each, the box likes these for week #8:
1) OhioUniv(-9.5)/EasternMichigan
2) Clemson(-2.5)/VirginiaTech
3) NorthCarolina(-8.5)/Syracuse
4) TexasSt(-13.5)/UtahState
5) Tulane(+3)/UTSA
6) FloridaAtlantic(-7.5)/Rice
7) Toledo(-2.5)/WesternMichigan
8) Buffalo(-3)/BowlingGreen
9) Alabama(-13.5)/TexasA&M
10) Nevada(-6)/SanJoseSt
11) OklahomaSt(-13.5)/Colorado
12) Arizona(-10.5)/IowaState
13) Kentucky(-10.5)/Vanderbilt
14) NewMexico(-4.5)/NorthDakotaSt
15) Memphis(-10.5)/EastCarolina            L
16) Indiana(-8)/Michigan
17) NorthCarSt(-7.5)/Stanford           L

So, is there a way to spin that poor overall 2026 performance record? Indeed, let’s go with the rank-value attribute. Over the last five weeks, the algorithm’s top-nine selections have gone .711 (32-13). Very likely not sustainable, but -- for the moment, a gold stake in the ground.

We are exactly half way thru our season; time for a category performance assessment (380 non-neutral site games). Home Favs 136-120 (.531). Home Dogs 68-56 (.548). ATS breakeven is .524, so slight money was made on the homers thus far. Alas, the macro-large database forever runs to the proverbial .500 level, so any $ edge is temporary/fleeting. Which is to say what we all know -- the prediction game is a tough one.

56 games on the board; three less than last week. Nonetheless, volume is opportunity, and there is an abundance of that this week.
Good luck,
